Perched dramatically on a cliffside 900 meters above the Paro Valley, this sacred pilgrimage site is accessible via a rewarding 2-3 hour hike through pine forests and fluttering prayer flags.

The monastery is believed to be the meditation site of Guru Padmasambhava, who is credited with bringing Buddhism to Bhutan in the 8th century.
