    As you reach Taktshang you will be struck by the
    architectural wonder of this most pious Buddhist
    shrine in Bhutan. Perched some 1000m, 3000ft
    on a cliff overlooking the valley, it would justifiably
    qualify as one of Bhutan’s wonders. Tragically
    wrecked in a fire early in 1998. It has been rebuilt
    to its original glory. It is said that the legendary
    Indian saint, Guru Padma Sambhava, flew from
    Tibet on the back of a tigress to tame five demons,
    who were opposing the spread of Buddhism in
    Bhutan in 746 A.D. Hence the name, Taktshang,
    or the “Tiger’s Lair.”
    Descend back to Ramthangka. If the time permits,
    drive further north to visit another symbolic
    structure, which is now in ruins. Drugyel Dzong,
    or “Castle of the Victorious Drukpa,” which was
    also built by the Shabdrung to commemorate
    Bhutan’s victory over the Tibetans in the 16thcenturies.
    From here, the Jomolhari Peak (“Mountain of
    the Goddess”) can be seen on a clear day (Alt.
    7,329m/24,029ft.). Overnight at Hotel.
