The history of this incredible holy site is tied to the destiny of Guru Rinpoche, one of the most important historical figures of Buthan. Legend has it one of Guru’s consorts transformed herself into a tigress and carried him on her back all the way from Tibet. They landed on a cliff near Paro where Guru Rinpoche entered a cave and meditated for three months. Tiger’s Nest Monastery is built in this holy place.</blockquote>
