I want to visit this place and stay at least for one week.



Tiger's Nest Monastery

Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche [wiki], the second Buddha, flew onto the cliff on the back of a tigress, and then meditated in a cave which now exists within the monastery walls.

The monastery, formally called Taktshang Goemba, was built in 1692 and reconstructed in 1998 after a fire. Now, the monastery is restricted to practicing Buddhists on religious retreats and is off-limits to ordinary tourists.

I also love to visit Bhutan, it is one of my dreams to go there!

[faye]

the interiors of tibetan temples are amazing. the walls are covered with murals and colourfl brocades are around the place. i went to a few, in india. one of them, we had to climb hills to get to and stayed the night. next to it was the cave that buddha was said to have meditated in for 2 years. i slept in it.
unfortunately, instant overnight enlightenment did not occur, for me

faye and Arevapasht, just imagine how romantic and fascinating it would be staying in that place at 3000 feet high cliff.

Onde day I will go there , it would be really amazing!
Unfortunately as I remember it is not so easy to get visa for Bhutan, or am I wrong?

May be you are right Areva. But I would definitely like to go to Nepal and Bhutan---mysterious places.

Me too, simply planing in advance is needed, I do not know how it is now, but once the kingdom did enter only a limited tourist number every year, that is also right, to keep the country intact and not overflowing with tourists, really a wise decision.

[faye]

going to bhutan would be the best. nepal would have heaps of tourists but still worth the visit for the scenery. big tibetan temple near kathmandu.

[faye]

i didn't need to. i am just a naturally high person and it wasn't long after, that i was struck by my enlightenment.
