Taktsang Monastery Hike
Taktsang Monastery Hike: Taktsang Monastery is Bhutan’s most iconic landmark and religious site. The name Taktsang translates to “The Tiger’s Nest”. This temple is one of the holiest sites in the kingdom and clings impossibly to a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley.
In order to arrive at the temple, visitors must trek for around 2-3 hours through beautiful, shady pine forests. No trip to Bhutan would be complete without a visit to this remarkable heritage site. It was first built in 1692 at a cave where Guru Rimpoche meditated in the 7th century A.D.
Difficulty Level: Moderate
