Activity : Hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery

The hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery, or Paro Taktsang, is one of Bhutan's most iconic and spiritual experiences. Perched dramatically on a cliffside at an elevation of 3,120 meters (10,240 feet) above sea level, this sacred Buddhist site offers breathtaking views of the Paro Valley.

Along the way, you'll encounter a tea house where hikers can rest and enjoy panoramic vistas. The Tiger's Nest is not just a hike but a journey of spiritual and cultural immersion in the heart of Bhutan.
