Tiger's nest, are you ready to visit...?

     Taktsang Monastery, famously known as Tiger’s Nest Monastery, is located in Paro district of  Bhutan. The monastery is one of the most venerated places of pilgrimage in the Himalayan. Taktsang clings to the rock towering 800m (2,600feet) above the valley. It takes about 2 to 3 hours (depending on your fitness level) to climb to the monastery from the road of Ramthangkha .
        Guru Padmasmbhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche) chose a cave on a sheer rock face to meditate and, assuming a wrathful form, Guru Dorji Drolo, astride a tigress to subdue the evil spirits in the locality. Legend has it that the tigress was actually Yeshi Tshogyal, a consort of Guru Rinpoche, who has transformed herself into a fearsome animal to subjugate spirits. It is also said that Yeshe Tshogyal transformed herself into a tigress to carry Guru Rinpoche on her back from Singye Dzong in Eastern Bhutan to Taktsang. Guru Rinpoche then performed meditation at the very same site and emerged in eight incarnated forms (manifestations). Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest monastery) thus became one of the most important Buddhist sacred sites in the Himalayan Buddhist world.
      There are currently four temples surrounding the main temple of Taktsang Lhakhang. All the buildings in the complex are interconnected by staircases with steps carved into the rock. The exterior of the complex has white-washed walls with gold painted roofs. A prayer wheel is located in the courtyard and it is being rotated by residing monks at 4 a.m. daily to mark the beginning of a new day. The interior of the temples is also decorated with the finest details to reflect the finest Varjayana Buddhist tradition.
     Tiger’s Nest Monastery, or Paro Taktsang, is unarguably the most iconic locations of the Kingdom of Bhutan. Even if you’re on a very tight schedule, chances are, you’ll have the Tiger’s next on your itinerary! And, all for god reason – the place is stunning. This is a trek not race. Take rest and go ahead.  You will be able to test your fitness too.If you think you can do it just call us and have conquering experience.
