| 1 mins read
Taktshang monastery is one of the most amazing structure ever built in Bhutan. Hanging in the middle of the rocky cliff was a small temple first built by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgay in 1692, which was later enlarged to the present structural glory despite several fire calamities. Legends sourrounds the fact that the place was founded by Guru Padmasambhava in 8th century when he flew riding on a tigress from Lhuntse. He has blessed the site which later various spiritual masters meditated there who sought to help the sentient beings. And here in Bhutan it is the wish of every Buddhist faith to visit and get blessed once in a life time. For the Bhutanese and the Buddhists people outside Bhutan, it is a holy pilgrimage; a hike up to the viewpoint opposite the monastery is exhausting, thrilling and mystical. This will no doubt be one of the highlights of your stay in Bhutan. For now i leave for reader to make your own wishes and prayers.
