The Tiger's Nest - a photo on Flickriver

The Tiger's Nest

            Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest), Paro, Bhutan.  This is a classic shot that I've seen over and over again, by other photographers.  As cliche as it is, I had to include it, because this photo was the reason that I dreamed of traveling to Bhutan.  It is Taktsang Monastery, also known as the Tiger's Nest.  After a two hour uphill trek, all adventurers and pilgrims are rewarded with this particular breathtaking vista.  I thank all who made this trip possible.  In particular, I would like to thank guides Sangay and Lobzang for carrying our heavy camera bags and leading us up to this iconic shot of Bhutan.  Thank you also to Robin Smillie, the tour operator for Rainbow Tours, for making this dream trip a reality.  Day 2, Guides: Sangay/Lobzang.
