Bhutan's Most Iconic and Sacred Site

Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, the Tiger's Nest Monastery is a true wonder of the world. This sacred site is perched on a cliff 900 meters above the Paro Valley, offering breathtaking views and a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. 🌄 Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche, the founder of Bhutanese Buddhism, flew to this site on the back of a tiger and meditated in a cave there for three months. The monastery was later built around the cave, and it has since become a pilgrimage site for Buddhists from all over the world. 🙏 The hike to the Tiger's Nest Monastery is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth the effort. The trail winds through lush forests, across streams, and up steep inclines, offering stunning views at every turn. As you approach the monastery, you'll feel a sense of reverence and wonder, as if you're entering a sacred realm.
