Taktshang Monastery

Taktshang Monastery, 700 meters above the Paro valley, Bhutan

This place is called the tiger's nest because some crazy monk decided to build it there after he rode a tiger to the spot a long time ago. While it seems like the story may have gotten stretched a bit through the years, I wonder how you actually get to it. But once you get there, all seven temples are open to visitors.
