Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, is the popular name of Taktsang Palphug Monastery. Situated in the upper Paro valley in Bhutan, it is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred place and temple complex. Tiger’s Nest Monastery was built in 1692 around the Taktsang Senge Samdup cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is the one who introduced Buddhism in Bhutan.
