We hike up to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched on the side
of a Himalayan mountain at 3,120 meters (10,240 ft.), about 900 meters
(3,000 ft.) almost straight up. It was strenuous and tricky because
of the high altitude, steep incline, and rough terrain. it was worth
it to visit this incredible engineering marvel and sacred Buddhist temple (Paro
Taktsang first built in 1692, destroyed by fire 1998 and rebuilt).
