Paro Taktsang, Paro

Magnificent magnificent Buddhist monastery. On the way up, we got on the little horse but it did not take us all the way to the top. We had to walk another hour to reach the monastery. The nature surrounding is very rich and healthy, you can really enjoy the fresh air on during the walk. The architecture of the monastery is very detailed and beautiful. This is an absolutely must to visit if you are in Bhutan.

Memorable spiritual experience. Getting here again after 2 decades was something. The paths are well maintained and was relieved to see the railings before reaching taktshang. I remember having to crawl and move like spiders those days! Would be good to plan very early in the morning to avoid the scorching sun. Although most of the way is under shade some are not. Take plenty of sunscreen and snacks. We went on a Monday hence there were hardly anyone. Good to avoid the crowd as the main temples are quite small. You can consider a hot stone bath or a massage in one of the hotels near the base after climbing back.
