Check in at the temple located on the cliff | Tiger Cave Temple.

🌟Highlight features: Tiger's Nest Monastery is located on a cliff over 900 meters high in the Paro Valley, with an altitude of 3120 meters. This temple was built in 1692. 📝Attention tips: Tourists usually need to be led by a tour guide to enter the Tiger Cave Temple for a visit. As the temple is built on a high mountain cliff, the journey there is very arduous, and it usually takes about 2 hours to hike up the mountain. There are horses available for transportation, priced at 130 yuan, but even riding a horse up the mountain is very bumpy, and on some sections of the road, you may even have to lie on the horse's back to avoid falling off. However, you still need to hike down the mountain on your own. My conclusion is to ride one third of the way, walk two thirds of the way, and walk the entire way down the mountain. Be sure to walk slowly as the road is very poor. ✅Play route: In the Palo Valley, there is dense vegetation, pure and fresh air, beautiful scenery, and flying prayer flags can be seen from time to time. There are two observation decks on the way up the mountain. From here, you can see a group of white buildings on the misty cliffs in the mountains, like a fairyland, which is the Tiger's Nest Temple. If you look closely, there are also several buildings on the higher mountain peaks than the Tiger's Nest Temple, which are the places where the monks practice their meditation. Take a breath and continue climbing, arriving at the observation deck, from which you can clearly enjoy the view. Tiger Cave Temple is also a good spot for taking photos and checking in. Everyone will take pictures here 📷. You can't ride horses here anymore, you need to rely on your legs to walk along the stairs to complete the next journey. 🕙Opening hours: 08:00-13:00, 14:00-18:00
