Bhutan is a small, isolated nation tucked away in the Himalayas between China and India, two of its most powerful neighbors. It has attempted to let some elements of the outside world while passionately upholding its long-standing customs, despite being virtually sealed off for generations. Druk Yul, which translates to "Land of the Thunder Dragon" in Bhutanese, became open to foreigners only in the 1970s.

Paro Taktsang Popularly known as the Tiger’s Nest, Taktshang is a revered temple and monastery built in 1692. The sacred structure sits at 3,120m (10,240ft) above sea level, perched on the edge of a cliff in the upper Paro Valley. Shrouded in folklore and myth, the monastery consists of four temples adorned with Buddhas, cotton tapestries and frescos of enlightened beings. The holiest site in Bhutan, this ‘tigers lair’ pays homage to Guru Padmasambhava, the initiator of Buddhism in Bhutan. In the late 17th century, the monastery was constructed around the cave by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye, who was believed to be the reincarnation of the Guru.
