Paro Taktsang

No trip to Bhutan is complete without a visit to the magnificent Tiger’s Nest. We completed the hike to and back in a little less than 5 hours. Very well maintained path with water points and a cafe. It looks much more intimidating from the bottom than it actually is and is an enjoyable hike where you can take your time.

Had memorable hiking experience at Tiger's Nest area especiallay while exploring the the left side of the place if you're going towards the Tiger’s Nest Monastery - Paro Taktsang, Wish to go back! It's better to allot an entire day if you want to enjoy the beauty of the place while hiking, watching waterfalls and more.

This monastery is one of Bhutan’s most iconic tourist destinations, built on a sheer cliff at an altitude of approximately 3,000 meters. Known as Taktsang Monastery (also called the Tiger’s Nest), it is a sacred site of Tibetan Buddhism, and for many people, visiting this place alone is the reason they come to Bhutan. Normally, the monastery is reached on foot, but I used a horse to go as far as the viewpoint along the way. Even so, it was honestly very tough. The horse can only take you part of the way, and from that point onward you must walk on your own. This latter walking section was far more exhausting than expected, and due to the altitude and steep path, I had to take many breaks along the way. Using a horse does not make the journey easy at all. However, once you finally arrive and see the monastery clinging to the cliff, along with the breathtaking scenery surrounding it, everything feels worth the effort. The moment I reached the top, I truly felt glad that I pushed myself to get there. I can honestly say that I came to Bhutan for this view. While the journey is physically demanding, the experience and the scenery far exceed the hardship, making it a place that is absolutely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.

Such an amazing adventure! Hike can be challenging at times but plenty of opportunities to take in the amazing views and nature all around you. We visited in the off season and on a full moon day so we were mostly hiking with young locals which was a treat. Once in a lifetime experience!

My favorite day in Bhutan Around 5km hike one way starting from 2700m above sea level and climbing up to 3100. On top of the main temple I did two side hikes to small temples overlooking the main one. I super enjoyed this two as I was alone. No other tourists visits those. In one of them a lone monk took me around showing all the caves and explaining the lehengs and beliefs. He loves there 10 years with just one more monk and a dog. I truelly enjoyed this encounter. The hike itself is really lovely through forest. It takes about 2h including stops for resting and stop for coffee at the teahouse.

It is quite an adventure. Going to Tiger's nest on the top of mountain.Halfway through the horse trail is not so steep.If you think it is not much at all You are wrong. The way from horse trail on which horse can no longer go.It will be stairs lying ahead which is steep and knee shaking. There will up and down and up.You will see a stunning view of waterfall and Tiger's nest temple in front of you

Gorgeous Temple - Taktsang or Tiger's Nest, built on the Cliff of a mountain where Guru Rimpoche visited and meditated. Guru Rimpoche was the first to introduce Buddhism in Bhutan. Pretty big complex. It's worth the hike, highly recommended.

Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan is truly one of the most beautiful and divine places I have ever visited. The entire trip was wonderfully organized by TripHawkers, making the journey smooth and stress free. The trek is totally worth it, as every step offers something special. The views from the top are breathtaking and stay with you forever. On the way, there is an amazing cafe where you can rest and enjoy the surroundings. The waterfalls, colorful flowers, and birds along the path make the walk very peaceful. Meeting monks on the trail adds a calm and spiritual feeling to the journey. Everything about this hill feels pure, positive, and divine. It is an experience that touches both the heart and the soul.
