🕌🕌TAKTSANG MONASTERY🕌 🐕Known as TIGER'S NEST🐯🐱 👁️👁️LOCATED @ BHUTAN🇧🇹🇧🇹 Taktsang Monastery, known as the Tiger's Nest, is one of the most iconic and sacred places in Bhutan. Located on a cliff at 3,120 meters high in the Paro Valley, Guru Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) is said to have arrived here in the 8th century flying on the lap of a tigress and meditated in a cave for three months, introducing Buddhism to the country. Built in 1692, the monastery is an impressive example of traditional architecture and an important pilgrimage destination, surrounded by spectacular mountainous landscape. A curious fact about the Taktsang Monastery is that the materials used to build it, such as wood and stone, were carried by hand or carried by mules and people through steep paths, as there were no accessible roads. This makes its construction, on a nearly vertical cliff, an amazing architectural feat.
