Itinerary description
|
Ascent to the "Nido del Tigre" Monastery. The track is not complete because the ascent was not recorded if the descent was integrated.
The cumulative unevenness is over 800 meters!!!!
Route made on March 19, 2023
According to the Namthar of the Lhakhang, which literally means the "Lair of the Tigress", it is believed that Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) flew to this location from Singye Dzong on the back of a tigress.9 This site was consecrated for taming the demon of Tiger.
Guru Padmasambhava, founder of the meditation cave. Fresco on the bridge of Paro.
An alternate legend holds that a former wife of an emperor, known as Yeshe Tsogyal, became a disciple of Padmasambahva in Tibet. She transformed herself into a tigress and carried the Guru on her back to the present location of the Taktsang in Bhutan. In one of the caves, the Guru meditated and emerged as eight incarnations (manifestations); then the place became holy. As a result, the site began to be called "the Tiger's Nest".

The popular legend of the Taktsang monastery is enriched by the story of Tenzin Rabgye, who built the temple in 1692. It has been mentioned by authors that Padmasmabhava reincarnated again in the form of Tenzin Rabgye. The evidence that seeks to corroborate this statement explains that: Tenzin Rabgye was seen (by his friends) at the same time inside and outside his cave; a small amount of food was enough to feed all the visitors; no one was injured during worship (despite the fact that the access road to the monastery was dangerous and slippery); and the people of the Paro valley saw in the sky various forms of animals and religious symbols, including a shower of flowers that appeared and also vanished in the air without touching the earth.
