Rose at dawn to drive from Thimpu back to Paro so we could begin the hike up to Tigers Nest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paro_Taktsang early in the day so that there was no rush to complete.
The postcard standard for Bhutan, its a beautiful monastery on a cliff face that houses several meditation caves and.is rich with lore.
Lynda was adamant that she was going to walk vice taking a horse up to the monastery. The hike to the monastery is 5 km including 3000 feet total ascent to 10,700 feet elevation. Kencho informed us that today was a important religious day and was going to be a pilgrimage day for the locals so today of all days was a very bad day to ride a horse up vice making the personal commitment.
Awesome achievement for Lynda - great experience for all of us. Yay this was worth the price of admission.
