It's not so clear where exactly your challenger is when you get there. It isn't in the large, circular room you've probably been to before, but it's in that same building, in a sort of hidden entrance. I've taken some screenshots to help clarify.

As your map would suggest, the building you need is the one shown here. The sort of hidden entrance is shown here. Hope this helps.

To clarify, the temple is the large building at the highest point with two tiger statues outside of it. Once you step into the entrance (where you can no longer mount), turn the camera to face your right. You'll see the ramp.
