Paro Sightseeing starts with an adventurous hike to Tiger’s Nest Monastery. A well-known monastery which is a sacred site and the most-visited landmark in Bhutan. It is also known as Taktsang Monastery and is perched on the Cliffside of the Upper Paro Valley.  A hike takes about 2 hours to get to the top which is demanding but fruitful as it offers stunning scenery and view of Paro Valley. Climb slowly and stop halfway for a short break for refreshment. Continue to hike and arrive at our destination where it is a belief that Buddhist Guru Rinpoche has meditated for 3 years to calm down the evil spirits. It is a sacred site so strictly follow the guidelines of dress codes. Make sure to wear full-sleeved clothes and remove shoes to enter the monastery. Explore the monastery, meet and interact with the monks, and meditate for a while in the serene environment. After completing the exploration, slowly descend and return to the hotel. The evening is free so explore on your own. Stay overnight in a hotel.
