Tigers Nest
Our last day in Bhutan we will the opportunity to hike to Taktshang Monastery, more commonly known as Tigers Nest. Situated on the side of a mountain at 10,000 feet, the hike to it is the most strenuous activity we will do in Bhutan, (at least it was for me-an example of the efficiency of cycling). It is well worth the effort, however. The Head Monk, or llama spend three month stints and the day we were there was the changing of the llamas. We were fortunate enough to not only meet the outgoing llama but crossed paths with the incoming llama and his entourage on our way down.
