Explore the Jewel of Bhutan - Experience the Sacred Taktsang Monastery with Expert Guides
Perched dramatically on a cliff face 900 meters above the Paro Valley, Tiger's Nest Monastery (Taktsang Palphug Monastery) is Bhutan's most iconic and sacred Buddhist site. This architectural marvel, built in 1692, clings impossibly to the rock face and offers one of the most breathtaking spiritual experiences in the Himalayas.
Our expertly crafted Tiger's Nest trek package combines adventure, spirituality, and cultural immersion. The monastery holds profound significance as the meditation retreat of Guru Rinpoche, who is said to have flown here on the back of a tigress, hence the name "Tiger's Nest." This sacred site has been drawing pilgrims and travelers for centuries, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Bhutan.

The Tiger's Nest trek is considered moderate difficulty. It's a 5km round trip with a 900-meter elevation gain, taking approximately 3 hours total (1.5-2 hours up, 1 hour at monastery, 1 hour down).
