3,000 metres above Paro Valley
The Taktsang 'Tiger’s Nest' Monastery is a marvel of architecture, perched on a sheer rock face 3,000 metres above the valley. Arguably the most iconic landmark in Bhutan, this temple is believed to be the place Guru Rinpoche landed on the back of a flying tigress, bringing Buddhism to Bhutan from Tibet. You can also do this route on horseback.
