Take a morning hike to the breathtaking Taktsang Monastery, also known as the “Tiger’s Nest”, perched atop a 9678-foot cliff. This 8th-century monastery was built around the cave in which Guru Rimpoche, or Guru Padmasambhava, is said to have meditated after flying to the site on the back of a tigress from Tibet. It’s a place of pilgrimage for locals, but a tourist’s hike up to the viewpoint is an exhausting, thrilling, and mystical experience. It takes an average of two hours to get to the top, and although the main building of the temple was destroyed by fire in April 1998, the hike is still an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling experience.
