Real Location
Tigers Nest is also known as Paro Taktsang, and Taktsang Palphug Monastery. [1]
Guru Rinpoche is said to have meditated in a cave for over three years in the 8th century. He is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan. Today, Paro Taktsang is the best known of the thirteen taktsang or "tiger lair" caves in which he meditated.
The temple complex was first built in 1692 by Tenzin Rabgye, whom people believed was a reincarnation of Guru Rinpoche. Nobody was injured in the steep trek to the monastery, and the people in Paro valley saw various animal forms and religious symbols, including a shower of flowers in the sky. [3]
