Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery)
Paro Valley, Paro District, Bhutan
Paro Taktsang, popularly known as Tiger’s Nest Monastery, is one of Bhutan’s most iconic and sacred landmarks.
Perched dramatically on a cliff about 900 meters above the Paro Valley, the monastery is believed to be the site where Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, meditated in the 8th century after arriving on the back of a tigress according to Buddhist tradition.
Reached by a scenic mountain hike, the monastery offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys. Its striking architecture, spiritual importance, and spectacular setting make it one of Bhutan’s most visited and revered cultural treasures.
