Tiger's Nest Monastery Hike was my NUMBER ONE thing to do in travel, and it didn't disappoint!

Description

🏔 Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike | Bhutan Travel Vlog – Day 2 Today I’m hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang Lhakhang) — Bhutan’s most iconic and spiritual landmark, clinging dramatically to a cliffside above the Paro Valley. Then afterwards, we head to Thimphu for a Bhutanese dinner with locals who work with Breathe Bhutan. This is Day 2 of my Bhutan travel vlog series, and it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences of the entire trip. From the steady uphill climb and mountain views to the first moment you spot the monastery hanging in the distance, this hike is as rewarding as it is challenging. In this vlog, I take you along the full Tiger’s Nest hike, sharing what the trail is really like, how long it takes, how difficult it feels, and whether the hike is truly worth it. Along the way, you’ll hear ambient sounds from the trail, see jaw-dropping views of the Himalayas, and experience the sense of awe that makes this place so special. To make this day even more special is the meal and drinks at the end with the crew from Breathe Bhutan, who cooked an amazing dinner, and we had great conversations about Bhutan over a few drinks. If you’re planning a trip to Bhutan or wondering if hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery should be on your itinerary, this episode will give you a real, on-the-ground feel for one of the best hikes in Bhutan. 🎒 In this episode: Hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang Lhakhang) What the Tiger’s Nest hike is really like How hard the Tiger’s Nest hike feels How long the hike takes from start to finish First views of the monastery from the trail Why this is one of Bhutan’s most meaningful experiences Dinner with locals in Thimphu 🌏 About the Bhutan series This vlog is part of my Bhutan travel series, filmed during a 10-night, 11-day journey across the country with Breathe Bhutan, who crafted an incredible itinerary focused on culture, nature, and meaningful local experiences. 👉 Huge thanks to Breathe Bhutan for making this journey possible and for their thoughtful, responsibl
