About This Design

Bhutan Tiger's Nest Monastery Postcard

Bhutan Tiger's Nest Monastery Postcard

Tiger’s Nest Monastery, officially known as Paro Taktsang, is one of Bhutan’s most iconic landmarks, perched dramatically on a cliffside about 900 metres (3,000 feet) above the Paro Valley. Built in 1692 around the cave where Guru Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, is said to have meditated in the 8th century, the monastery appears to cling impossibly to the sheer rock face. Legend holds that Guru Padmasambhava flew to the site on the back of a tigress, giving rise to its famous name. The whitewashed walls, golden roofs, and colourful prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze make it one of the most photogenic and spiritually significant sites in Bhutan. Visiting Tiger’s Nest involves a steep, scenic hike through pine forests scented with rhododendrons and draped in prayer flags. The trail offers progressively more breathtaking views of the monastery as it draws nearer, culminating in a final approach across a rocky path and a series of stone steps. Inside, the monastery houses sacred shrines, meditation caves, and intricately painted murals that reflect Bhutan’s deep Buddhist heritage. For Bhutanese people, a pilgrimage to Paro Taktsang is a profound spiritual journey, while for visitors, the combination of cultural significance, natural beauty, and sheer architectural daring makes it an unforgettable highlight of a trip to the Himalayan kingdom.
