The Tiger’s Nest Monastery, also known as Paro T

The Tiger’s Nest Monastery, also known as Paro Takstang, is one of Bhutan’s most recognized spots. The Tiger’s Nest Monastery is a sacred Buddhist site located near Paro, Bhutan. It was constructed in 1692, around the cave where Guru Rinpoche first meditated, the event that introduced Buddhism into Bhutan. There is a legend that Guru Rinpoche was carried from Tibet to this location on the back of a tigress, thus giving it the name “Tiger’s Nest.”
.
.
Due to its location, the only way to get to the monastery is by hiking. It's 4 miles round trip with a hefty climb to get up to the Tiger's Nest. But what a view! If you are contemplating a trip to Bhutan and you want to learn more about how to hike to the Tiger’s Nest, click the link in our bio.

What a view of Santorini! We loved swing the blue domed churches in Oia, the caldera, and off in the distance, the towns of Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Fira. Have you been to Santorini? What was your favorite experience?

Feel like exploring? Watch the sunrise at Horsesho

Feel like exploring? Watch the sunrise at Horseshoe Point, hike the short, fun trails in Sedona, walk through magical Antelope Canyon, see more cacti than you can count in Saguaro, explore the unusual landscapes at Petrified Forest, and watch the sunset over the Grand Canyon. New on our website is a 10 day road trip itinerary through the state of Arizona. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can start traveling again by the end of 2020. This would make a great trip!
