The story behind the picture

The approach is part of the visit

Paro Taktsang's setting creates the first impression, but the approach makes its scale and position tangible. Changes in perspective, vegetation and gradient are part of the experience. Arrival should leave enough time and energy for a respectful visit rather than only the photograph.

Discuss the route, altitude and expected effort with your local guide. Allow a comfortable return and follow current interior and photography rules.
