Paro Taktsang, also known as the Tiger's Nest Monastery, is one of the significant Bhutan monuments and landmarks in Buddhism and Bhutanese culture. This one, perched atop one of Guru Padmasambhava's thirteen "tiger lair" caves, is the most famous. Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava supposedly rode on a tigress and meditated in this cave. Constructed by the Bhutanese monarch Tenzin Rabgye in 1692, this site honours the introduction of Buddhism to Bhutan.  Today, it is highly regarded by Buddhists across the globe.
