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. The trek begins at the base near a lush forest and ascends through winding trails lined with pine trees, fluttering prayer flags, and occasional waterfalls. The 4-5 hour round-trip hike is moderately challenging but rewarding, with a sense of serenity and accomplishment upon reaching the monastery. Along the way, you'll encounter a tea house where hikers can rest and enjoy panoramic vistas.
