Perched dramatically on a cliff in Bhutan, Paro Taktsang—often called the Tiger’s Nest—is a monastery built at the spot where Buddhism is said to have first taken root in the region. Dating from the late 17th century, it underwent careful restoration after a major fire in 2005. Accessible by foot or on horseback, the monastery draws pilgrims and visitors who come for its remote setting, spiritual atmosphere and sensational views.
