Immerse yourself in the pristine natural surroundings as you venture through the breathtaking environment leading to the iconic Tiger's Nest monastery. As you ascend, prepare to be overwhelmed by the sight of the monastery perched on the edge of a cliff, 900 meters above the Paro valley. This revered site, also known as Taktsang Goemba, is not only one of the holiest places in Bhutan but also one of its most beautiful. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche, revered as the second Buddha, arrived here from Tibet on the back of a flying tigress, blessing the entire place in the 8th century. The hike to Tiger's Nest can be divided into several stages, making it manageable for various fitness levels.

For those seeking a deeper experience, the next stage involves descending the 475 steps along the cliff face, crossing a stream and a waterfall at the bottom of the ravine. From there, the path ascends with another 300 steps leading to the monastery entrance. Upon reaching this point, you'll have the opportunity to enter the monastery and witness the sacred cave where Guru Rinpoche meditated (please note that cameras are not allowed inside the monastery). After the invigorating hike, visit the ancient Kichu Temple, which dates back to the 7th century.
