09:00 - Visit Tiger's Nest Monastery: Start your Bhutanese adventure with a visit to the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched precariously on a cliff 900 meters above the Paro valley. This sacred Buddhist site, also known as Paro Taktsang, is one of the most venerated places of pilgrimage in the Himalayan region. The trek to the monastery is a spiritual journey through lush pine forests, with the majestic Paro valley unfolding beneath you. Did you know? The monastery was built in 1692 around the cave where Guru Rinpoche, the second Buddha, is said to have meditated in the 8th century.
