Legend has it that the Tiger's Nest, also called Taktshang, was built on the very spot where Guru Rinpoche arrived flying, bringing Tantric Buddhism to Bhutan on the back of his beloved transformed into a tigress. Long before reaching the monastery, the path that leads to it will leave you in awe due to the colors of the forest intermingling with those of the faithful's prayer flags. A water mill with prayer cylinders and a bunch of monasteries will be your landscape during your ascent.
"According to popular saying, this monastery clings like a lizard to the cliff and to the hearts of those who see it."
This monastery was built in the 17th century on the very spot where it is said that Guru Rinpoche, considered the Second Buddha in Bhutan and Tibet, meditated and achieved no less than eight incarnations. That's why phallic forms are revered in Bhutan and can even be seen painted on some houses. Because yes, enjoying a visit to the Tiger's Nest is not just about contemplating the great guru's cave, but also breathing the pure air of its paths, being amazed by the hidden waterfall in the final stretch, or being captivated by temples like the Snow Lion Cave.
