Day 5: Paro – Taktsang hike

Today’s day will begin driving back to the Paro valley to take on a stunning hike on foot to visit the Taktsang Gompa or Tiger’s Nest. Our hike to Taktsang from the road point will take through the well-maintained path, which is quite uphill, and it takes around 3-4 hours at an average walking speed. The trail climbs through beautiful pine forest, many of the trees adorned with Spanish moss, and an occasional grove of fluttering prayer flags. You stop for a rest and light refreshments at cafeteria.

This incredible monastery clings to the edge of a sheer rock cliff that plunges 900 meters into the valley below. Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava, the tantric mystic who brought Buddhism to Bhutan in 747 AD, flew here on the back of a flying tiger Dorji Drolo, said to be his consort.

 

Taktsang is one of the most venerated pilgrimage sites in the Himalaya. However, most people can only visit the main site called Taktsang Pel-phu according to legend Padmasambhava who founded Taktsang monastery in the eighth century. It is believed that the Guru came to this place on the back of a tigress from Khengpajong in the Kurtoe region and meditated here for three months in a cave and converted the Paro valley to Buddhism.

 

Kichu Lhakhang is dated back to 7th century and built by the first king of Tibet, Songtsen Gompo to subdue an ogress threats to overcome Buddhism. Beside monastery to a right was added on 19th century by the Royal Grand Mother Ashi (Queen) Phuntsho Chhoden. It is called Guru Lhakhang
