Day Hikes in Paro Valley

Taktshang Lhakhang (Tiger’s Nest)

Short of time and is in Paro Valley. Taktshang Lhakhang is a must visit and no trip to Bhutan is complete without visiting this place. It’s a short intensive steep walk and is about 2 hours 30 minutes. The path starts through pine forest and a steep climb. You may take a mule too but most enjoyable be to walk it up. Once you reach the top you will have an amazing feeling.
