Walking sticks are available for rent at 100 Nu (approximately €1) each. They can be particularly useful downhill, as there are many stairs along the way. The horses are usually not on the hiking trail, but on a separate path for them.

This is the absolute highlight of Bhutan. Start very early, also to avoid the crowds. On a typical day, almost 1,000 people are on the trail. Allow plenty of time to explore the monastery and soak it all in. Mobile phones and cameras/video equipment are not permitted inside the monastery and must be left outside. Security personnel check this at the entrance.

Short climb up to stunning temple and great views of the river and rice fields

Taktshang, also spelled Taktsang or Tiger's Nest, is a Buddhist monastery in the Paro Valley in the Kingdom of Bhutan. The word Taktshang is Tibetan and literally translates to "Tiger's Den." It is located at an altitude of 3,120 meters in the Himalayas and is only accessible by a hike of several hours or by mule. The monastery complex is a frequently photographed cultural landmark of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The monastery was consecrated in 1692 and includes the Taktsang Senge Samdup Cave, where, according to legend, Guru Padmasambhava meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days, and three hours in the 8th century. Padmasambhava, also known as the Guru with the Eight Names and holding the honorific title Rinpoche, brought Buddhism to Bhutan. The monastery is dedicated to him.

The Buddha Dordenma statue, a technical masterpiece, was crafted in sections and assembled on-site in Thimphu. Made of bronze and gilded with gold, the statue was erected with the help of skilled artisans. The entire project was outsourced to China, where the individual parts of the statue were manufactured and then shipped to Bhutan for assembly. Standing at an enormous 54 meters tall, the statue is one of the largest seated Buddha statues in the world. It houses 125,000 smaller Buddha statues, each meticulously crafted from bronze and gilded with gold. The statue's base contains a meditation hall, further enhancing its spiritual significance.
