  • Day 5 : Quest for Mystical Taktsang

    After a wholesome breakfast, drive to Paro (53km/ 1.5hr). Check in your resort and prepare for the excursion. Drive to Satsam Chorten and spend the day hiking up the forested path to Taktsang Monastery, also known as Tiger's Nest, Bhutan's most famous and scenic icon. The climb is steep and takes about 4 hours round trip. An important place of pilgrimage and refuge for more than 1200 years, Taktsang Monastery clings to sheer cliffs two-thousand feet above Paro Valley, and from your closest vantage point on a rocky ledge directly across from it, you will still need 200-300 mm lenses and a steady tripod to get tight photographs.

    This sacred place got its name when Guru Rinpoche rode there on the back of a flying tiger and meditated in a cave behind the present-day monastery. Sadly, in 1998, the central temple was destroyed by fire, leaving the country in mourning for their holiest of spiritual places. But religious leaders and the King quickly developed a plan to rebuild Taktsang and donations started pouring in from Buddhist centers all over the world, and today, the magnificently rebuilt exterior is complete. Tiger's Nest is once again the subject of cloud-shrouded posters that say, Bhutan, Land of the Thunder Dragon. Picnic lunch on the hillside cafeteria.

    Special permit will be arranged for you to enter the Tiger's Nest monastery but you will not be allowed to take pictures of the inside shrines.

    Evening, visit a typical village home for a traditional Bhutanese style dinner accompanied by the local liquor called Ara (tastes somewhat like the Japanese Sake) & yak meat. Then luxuriate in the Bhutanese equivalent of a Jacuzzi called a Chu Tse. River rocks are heated and dunked into a large wooden tub with herbs. This type of bath is considered to have medicinal properties of healing. Overnight Paro.
