Tigers Nest Monastery

This am we hiked up to the picturesque Tigers Nest Monastery- the iconic visual Bhutan is famous for.
Perched high on a cliff edge is a complex of temples to celebrate the story of Guru Rinpoche.

We reached the monastery in 2 hours of uphill slog ( with some downhill steep steps before climbing again to the first temple).
An hour was spent exploring the 7 temple complex including the cave where the Guru was said to have meditated for 3 months.
It was then a 1.5 hour descent back to the car park.
U can actually get a horse half way up but we decided we needed the walk!!

Now back at the hotel before tonight’s visit to a local family for archery, hot stone bath and dinner!!
