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.

The 2 tier system really bothered me. Lhotsampa not being allowed to have passports or bank accounts is fucked up. Also, living there was just rough. It's really a developing country. Frequent power outages, and buying things was hard. For example, the vegetable market was only open Friday through Sunday.
