Taktsang Temple, or the Tiger’s Nest as most people call it, clings to a vertical granite cliff 800 metres above the valley. It is believed that in the 8th century, Guru Rimpochee, a tantric master, flew on the back of a tigress from the eastern Bhutan and meditated in a cave around which the temple is built. A hike to this temple from the valley below takes the better part of a morning.
