The town of Bhutan is also blessed with many sightseeing spots, such the monasteries. The Taktsang Monastery is situated on a hill, over 1000 meters above the sea level. This cliff on which it is located, and itself are together called the Tiger’s Nest and has become the unspoken image-forefront of Bhutan. Guru Rinpoche has originally built it for the sake of meditation, but it was carried on in the later years by gurus and students after him. This monastery is the pride and joy of the town and country and is one of the most visited monasteries in the world.
