Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger's Nest, is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex perched on a cliffside in Bhutan. The trek to the monastery is challenging, involving a steep climb, and may not be fully accessible to individuals with mobility issues. While solo visits are possible, many visitors opt for guided tours to gain insights into the site's history and religious significance. The best time to visit is during the spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) months for pleasant weather; seasonal restrictions may apply during monsoon and winter. The cost can range from moderate to high, including permit fees, transportation, and potential guide services. A typical visit, including the hike, can last between 5 to 7 hours. Be aware of the altitude and pace yourself accordingly.
