Paro Taktsang, also known as Taktsang Palphug Monastery and Tiger’s Nest Monastery, is a Buddhist temple that sits on the side of a cliff in the Paro Valley of Bhutan. Originally constructed in the late 17th century, the monastery was all but destroyed in a 1998 fire. Its restoration, funded by the Bhutanese government, was completed in 2005.

Ok that was an exaggeration, it was 3000ft above the Paro Valley in Bhutan, roughly 9km round trip hike (some parts steep, some parts ok), and 750 steps down/up) to the majestic monastery perched precariously on the side of a cliff - the Tiger's Nest!
.
For someone who didn't train and had hiked/ trekked maybe ONCE in my life at outward bound school aged 13, I was PRETTY proud of myself and @mint_g !
.
Pictures do NO justice to this magnificent ancient architectural spiritual structure! Did i see the crystallised clarity my naive mind was searching for?... can't say i did. BUT Bhutan gave me so much more:
.
1.Friendship (our tour guides @druk_nim @i_m_bhutanese were there EVERY step of the way, answering every whim, questions that popped into our minds), and they did so with absolute genuine patience (cuz BOY we had a tonne of questions!)
.
2. Gratitude (for a place where people thought the way they did, unperturbed by the many distractions of the current world and the speed at which it's moving
.
3. Negative Carbon emission (I mean common right?!)
.
I could go on but it'll take me 3 days
.
Perhaps, this pandemic is teaching us to look back, to move forward? Be content, connect more with human, not phone. If you have to, with phone or computers - relay the right messages, and use digitisation for the good of man? (Much like how we are being shoved into improving e-commerce, online everything right now).

THANK YOU BHUTAN
I wish you well and I hope to see you AGAIN!

Bhutan is a magical place to travel especially if you want to heal your soul. Have a look at what we did throughout the 6 Days journey when in Bhutan! Tiger's Nest is a must to visit if you asked me. #TCTravel
