Also known as the Taktsang Palphug Monastery and the Tiger's Nest, it is located in the cliffside of a mountain, around a cave where Guru Padmasambhava is believed to have meditated and practiced Vajrayana Buddhism in the early 9th century. The monastery was built in 1692 by 4th Druk Desi Tenzin Rabgey.

That walk is so brutal, even if you hire a pony for the first half. I have no clue how the old people manage to do it weekly.

You can hire a pony?!? Our guide did not mention that, lol.
