Brother: because tigers lay eggs there.
All of us: -.- but laughed
For the real explanation, you can read it here. From what I remember, a great Buddhist master flew to the temple on a tiger, so my bro's joke wasn't so far off haha.
You can ride ponies halfway up. If you're afraid you'll run out of steam, then it's a good idea to do so. A word of warning though that the ponies prefer to walk on the sides so if you're afraid of heights don't look over the sides. The ponies can be quite mischievous too and try to irritate the other ponies or be stubborn and not move hahaha..
It looked really far and I was seriously wondering if it was possible for us to make it there in one day and back hahahaha...
It's interesting seeing Paro Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) from different views and getting closer and closer to it
Some parts are quite steep and I felt sorry for the horses.
So close yet so far!
The last stretch (after crossing the bridge) was really tough because we had to go up and down a lot and also because of the altitude the air was really thin. I'd to stop quite often and I was really huffing and puffing.
We couldn't take photos at Tiger's Nest itself but the temple was very beautiful. The paintings on the walls were beautiful too. I can't imagine how they built the temple up in this remote area...

Hi there, I'd like to ask how much did you pay per day for entrance into Bhutan? As I've heard it can be pretty pricey for tourists.
Thanks!
Hi, the entrance fee differs on whether it's peak period or not and some packages also include the accommodation fee, tour guide, meals etc. Best to check up on the different packages available. It can be pretty pricey but if you get the right package it can be a very good deal as well :)
