I was actually in Tamerlane's tomb in Samarkand. While there are some who say that they have discovered Genghis Khan's tomb, those claims are disputed.

It has been widely reported that Genghis Khan met with Taoist masters at the end of his life. However, there is no disclosure of details in the Mongol chronicles.
However, there is a book, "Tales of the Dancing Dragon, Stories of the Tao" by Eva Wong, where there is a chapter dedicated to the encounter between Genghis Khan and the Taoist Master Qui Changchun.
While the book contains fascinating details of the encounter that I could not find online, there is a brief Brittanica reference to the connection between Changchun and Genghis Khan.
