5.00The Hike to taktsang was profoundly spiritual and self-awakening experience. Nestled at an altitude of around 3,120 meters (10,240 feet), this iconic monastery clings to the cliffs of the Paro Valley, creating an almost mystical presence that draws pilgrims, adventurers, and seekers of inner peace from around the world.
Blessed opportunity to visit

5.00One of the most ancient holy places on earth. Most precious place in Bhutan. It’s above the mountain in Paro. It takes two to three hours trekking Plan and see the holy rocks and caves touched by LORD Padmasambhava. It’s really a beautiful blessing to visit. Hope you are blessed to visit 🌸🙏🌸 Enjoy your journey Count your blessings

5.00High point of the Bhutan trip. Reach early say by 7:30 am. Rent a walking stick and if need be u can hire a mule half way up to the Tiger's nest. We preferred to rough it out and toiled for 7 hours, up n down with a break both ways at the cafe. Your back pack shud have lots of water and a light towel and a light T shirt as a change. One sweats a lot while stepping upwards in the sun. There are wooden steps , stone steps concrete steps and some broken steps ...all leading you up to 10,000 ft above sea level. Being a senior citizen I carried my asthma inhalers and a portable can of Oxygen with 4 litres of water. Remember to refill your empty bottles as u move up, from the spring water enroute.

5.00Our guide, Namgay, made our trip to Bhutan wonderful. We hiked to Tiger's Nest, and that evening, he took us to a farm for dinner, and a hot stone bath. It was wonderful, and we had no sore muscles. Our last day we toured Paro. Our hike was hard work, but rewarding as a true marvel.
A MUST! -Place in Bhutan.

5.00This is a must trip for Bhutan. Seeing the famous Temple that the Enlighten Rim Pu Che, the Buddhist Master builded. This is the most important Temple in this country. You can group half way by horses and down on foot or waled all the way up and down. The small, narrow and winding road up the mountain was spectacular enough by it self. Seeing the temple build on a steep mountain side was so amazing. Many Buddhist make pilgrimage by walking up and down all the way even when they were very old.
