Tiger's Nest Monastery is perched high on a cliffside in the Paro Valley. Legended to be the place where Guru Rinpoche was taken on the back of a flying tigress, it is where he then meditated for quite some time and today is still a sacred place for retreat and meditation, as well as pilgrimage for many Buddhists.
The hike up the mountains and up the cliffs was quite something else! Reaching the monastery was definitely worth the effort though! With beautiful views from all sides, and a dramatic waterfall to pass over to finally reach it, it is an incredibly awe inspiring place.
