After an early breakfast, you drive to the foot of the Taktshang cliff just outside Paro, before walking uphill for 2-3 hours to reach this monastery. The short trek to the monastery passes through a dense pine forest. This abode of traditional Buddhist religious prayer and worship was built in the 17th century AD.
