Perched on a cliff 900 meters above the valley, the Taktsang monastery is a must see sight while traveling in Bhutan. It is also known as &quot;Tiger&#039;s Nest&quot; because Guru Rimpoche is said to have flown on the back of a tigress in the 8th century. He then meditated in a cave here for three months where the monastery was later built. The cave is said to be the origin of Bhuddism in Bhutan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the absolutely breath-taking picture of the monastery!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/%7Eclay/currency/taktsang-monastery.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
