About Paro
Taktsang Monastery clings to a cliff 3,120 metres high, accessible by a scenic 3-hour hike through pine forests—one of Asia's most spectacular Buddhist sites. Legend says Guru Rinpoche flew on a tigress to meditate in this cave. The monastery's white walls and golden roofs seem suspended between earth and sky. Paro Valley below is Bhutan's most developed area.
