9Tiger’s Nest Monastery

Tiger’s Nest monastery, also known as Taktsang, is one of the sacred sites of Bhutan, founded in 1962, and has folklore along with it.

The Buddhist Lama, Guru Rinpoche, sanctified Bhutan from a local demon on a tigress’s back and meditated thereafter. Thus, the monastery nestled on hills surrounded by lush forest is named Tiger’s Nest. Having spectacular architecture, this monastery owns fascinating elements such as caves, sculptures, paintings, and statues. The complex can be reached by stone paths and also by navigating the wobbly wooden bridges.
