On Day 19 of our food and travel trip to Bhutan, we dedicated the entire day to trekking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan (Paro Taktsang in Bhutanese Dzongkha), which sits literally on the edge of a cliff. The hike takes about 3 – 4 hours or so, and since I wanted to beat the main crowds, my wife and I left from the hotel quite early to get a head start. It worked out quite well, because we were some of the only people on the trail that early in the morning. The fresh air was amazing. We wound our way along the trail, and soon we could get amazing views of Tiger’s Nest hidden in the clouds and on the side of the cliff.

The trail, although steep, isn’t really dangerous in any parts, as long as you keep your eye on the trail and don’t try to get too close to the edge. At the top of Tiger’s Nest Monastery they don’t allow any photography, so you have to check in your bag. We walked around the monastery for a little while, ate some snacks, and then headed down.

Despite Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan being one of the most famous attractions and icons of Bhutan, it really is spectacular.

It’s typically recommended that you visit Tiger’s Nest at the end of your trip to Bhutan so that you acclimatize better to the elevation.

The one and only 2nd paradise nd carbon neutral country in the world.those clips really inspired me getting back home sooner as i belong to that particular place.its kinda chicky blooke you travelling without any guides where u have missed all of the main holiest/sacred spots there..i wish if you could visit with some local assistance whereby could learn all the sacred historical events with manual steps…
    Cheers and looking forward to see you njoying the trips in each n every corner of our country.

  4. A reincarnated soul in the form of the tour dog. Perhaps someone that was not kind to animals in a last life, now lives on the path to the temple following strangers and asking for bits of food in exchange for protection and guidance to the destination. Who's life is more blessed? The tourist people that come and go for just a brief moment, or the simple creatures that live amongst the mountain and the sky? Nature is these creatures temple. When trekking, please be kind to nature, even the plants and rocks and insects belong there. We people are simple visitors in the world.
