Up until the latter half of the 20th century, it was unthinkable to visit the Kingdom of Bhutan. Nestled deep on the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan only opened up itself in 1961 as HM King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck began laying down the path towards modernisation. It will take another 13 years, however, before the country welcomed its first foreign tourists. At the time, Bhutanese laws required foreign tourists to enter Bhutan only by air. Aviation arrived in Bhutan in 1968 when the Border Roads Organisation of India built an airfield in the Paro valley for use by chartered Indian Armed Forces helicopters in behalf of the Bhutanese government. Before the establishment of a flag carrier, fixed-wing aircraft operations at Paro were limited. In 1974, the first year of foreign tourism, Bhutan welcomed only 273 passengers by air. Drukair — Royal Bhutan Airlines was established through a royal decree, 40 years ago, on 5 April 1981. Paro Airport's 1,200-m runway and lack of navigational aids pushed the Bhutanese government to draft specific requirements on what aircraft types can operate there. The German-made Dornier 228 seemed to have met the strict criteria. Drukair required an 18-20 seat aircraft with short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities. It also must be able to complete a Kolkata - Paro - Kolkata roundtrip (1,200 km) without refuelling due to minimal infrastructure at Paro. Drukair received its first Do 228-201, D-IBOO (later A5-RGB), on 14 January 1983 under auspicious circumstances. The high lama of Rinpung Dzong predetermined the aircraft's exact time of landing, the number of passengers onboard, and the spot where the aircraft is to be parked. On 11 February 1983, Drukair inaugurated scheduled services with Flight KB101 headed for Kolkata and back the next day as KB102. A second Do 228, A5-RGC, was received in late 1983. The two Dorniers stayed in Drukair's fleet until November 1988 when those were replaced by a single BAe 146-100.

An old photograph of Paro clicked by my father. I don't know why this place often flashes in my inward eyes in times of bliss and solitude. Then I didn't understand the importance of this place. 10 years later I just want to slip into the oblivion of a far away unknown place where there's no people to call your own and far less to meet. P.S. the lane you see at the last point is the airport runaway. This considered the most dangerous airport in the world and flight landings aren't allowed after sunset. You need more than 10 years of experience as a pilot to operate flights here and only 7-8 pilots have the license to fly here. If you look at this airport you will understand why it is dangerous to have airports in most hilly areas and why most of the hill stations don't have airports. Another point is that if you are flying from Nepal to Bhutan, you get a crystal clear view of the Mt. Everest and other peaks from the flight. #bhutan #bhutantravel #bhutandiaries #paro #paroairport #dangerousairports #bhutantrivia #travelgram #travelgasm #travelbag #travelblogger #travelbloggerslife #travelblog #traveltrivia #travelingtips #nepal #tipsandtrivia #travelinghacks #travelingpoints #traveling #travelstory #mytravelstory #travelerslife #travelerstale #bhutandiaries #bhutantourism #bhutantales https://www.instagram.com/p/B13UA1rALJF/?igshid=1ftbvnw373nbg

Paro Taktsang (also known as the Taktsang Palphug Monastery and the Tiger’s Nest) is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and the temple complex is located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley in Bhutan.

Why Tigers Nest..?

One of the main reasons for my travel to Bhutan was to trek the Tigernest monastery. It is the most iconic Buddhist temple in Bhutan. It is set on an almost vertical cliff about 900 meters above the Paro Valley with fabulous views.

A view from the top of the cliff..

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Change of Plan..

Our initial plan was to visit the monastery first in early hours. I always believe the finest exploration always lies with the individual instincts. That’s why I spend considerable time with locals to understand the dynamics of the places planned and local cuisines. Through them got to know that Chelela pass was quite an amazing place and it is one of the must see places in Bhutan. Most importantly it is a 3 hour journey from Monastery. So we added it to our list just the day before we visited this place. When any last minute inclusions ends up to be the best part of our trip then nothing beats it.

Prayer Flags are colorful rectangular pieces of clothes inscribed with prayers, mantras and auspicious symbols often hung in high passes, mountain ridges in the Himalayas.

On Saturday…

Our First stop, the famous Paro museum. As the Museum gets closed at 11AM on Saturdays, we had to rush with a quick stop at the viewpoint post Museum tour where Paro airport is visible.

The airport has only one runway.

Got ready to head towards Tigers Nest…

It all started this way….

Exploration of Tigers nest started with a trek for about 7 KM’s at 12:30pm. With a hiking stick in hand and a backpack on my back we decided to trek anyway. In my backpack, I had water bottles, a hand towel, Medical kit, a camera with 18-55 lens, 50mm & 55-250lens, Iphone, and other accessories.

While trekking to the summit of Tigernest..

The “Trek of our Lifetime”

We hiked at our own pace. The hike is 14kms to and fro not including nearly 1400 steps which take you to this wonderful monastery. A big waterfall on the way, serene temples, Buddha statues and wonderful views are unforgettable.

View from the entry point

The area is a treasure trove of deciduous flora and fauna.

  As it got steeper breathing became more challenging. The thinness of the air was a challenge. This is the reason why you MUST DO THIS TRIP AT THE END OF YOUR HOLIDAY. Good that we went there after 3 days, we acclimatized during our journey around Bhutan and we managed this better as a result. What’s awesome is seeing the monastery getting larger and larger from being a distant icon to looming up and being within reach. From a distance it is meant to resemble the guru Padmasanghava AKA guru Rinpoche (who brought Buddhism to Bhutan in the 8th century) riding a tigress.

…Rorboyz…

Waterfalls, Caves and Temples..

On our way we had to pass by the beautiful waterfalls, bridge and then reached the Monastery. There you have to lock up your belongings – no bags or cameras allowed in there. There’s a safe box system. Don’t even think of sneaking a camera in ;). Inside you are directed through this labrynthine building containing various caves and temples and a yak butter candlelight room. There is a tranquil and special atmosphere here.

Closeup View of Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The rock slopes are very steep (almost vertical) and the monastery buildings are built into the rock face. Though it looks formidable, the monastery complex has access from several directions, such as the northwest path through the forest, from the south along the path used by devotees, and from the north (access over the rocky plateau, which is called the “Hundred Thousand Fairies” known as Bumda.

View of the Taktsang Lhakhang a.k.a tiger’s monastery

This is most unique experience of our Bhutan trip, although I kept saying that to a lot other places in this lovely country. But the experience of walking up the fairly tough path up the mountain, while seeing a breathtaking view of the mountains, valleys, and the monastery peeping up from the fog is sheer magic.

Yayie!! We are almost there…!!

My descend was quicker than expected; but had to be careful at the muddy slippery stretches, but equally dramatic. You feel calm and relaxed from inside after this spiritual journey.

Tips from my perspective:

Timings: 8 AM to 1 PM and 2-5 PM daily, October – March Until 6 PM, April – September.

Start your trek in the morning

Carry enough water bottles, hiking sticks,medical kit etc.,

There’s a cafeteria, One can have a quick bite.
