Mongolians worshipped for the sacred Burkhan Khaldun mountain from generation to generation for centuries but the worshipping halted temporally during the years between 1930-1995.

The first state ceremony initiated by former president Enkhbayar Nambar was held in Khentii Aimag to worship the Burkhan Khaldun Mountain, the great veneration of the Mongolian nation in 1996. The ceremony arranged at 2,662 meter height of the Mountain. The Burkhan Khaldun Mountain and the mountain ranges in Khentii Aimag became the source of the life, struggle, success, and victory of the Millennium Man - Great Chinggis Khan. But lately sacred Burkhan Khaldun mountain has became a busy place of travelers causing great loss and damage to the environment of the area.
