Day 04: Paro Taktsang

After an early breakfast, drive back to Paro to embark on a hike to Taktsang Monastery. It's often said that a visit to Bhutan isn't complete without hiking to Taktsang Monastery. The trail, broad and well-marked, ascends for approximately 2 hours uphill, offering panoramic views almost a kilometer above the Paro valley floor. For those unable to hike, we can arrange a horse for transportation up to the viewing point. The sight of Taktsang Monastery, perched on a sheer cliff face 900 meters above the valley floor, is truly breathtaking. This monastery holds significant pilgrimage importance for Buddhists. Legend has it that the great Guru Rimpoche and his consort meditated in a cave here for three months, bringing Buddhist teachings to Bhutan in the 8th Century. They are believed to have manifested themselves as Guru Dorji Drolo and a tigress to subdue demons in the valley below. This cave, where the monastery now stands, is regarded as the birthplace of Buddhism in Bhutan.
Overnight stay at your hotel in Paro.
