Taktshang Goemba "Tigers Nest Monastery" Paro, Bhutan
Perched 3/4 of the way up a cliff is the most amazing place - this a a MUST see when in Bhutan. Most tourists take a horse to a cafe/lookout spot 1/2 way up, very few continue to the top! Inside is a cave which is accessed by some very rickety "ladders" this is the place where Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) meditated for over 3 years. Well worth doing it in full National Costume, but beware it's REALLY HOT.

On their return, the princes are furious and punish the woman by cutting off their noses. Eventually, everybody is reconciled and the princes marry the princesses. Massive crowd pleaser, especially when the perf...
