The most incredible adventure and the most loved hike is Tiger nest Hike. 90% of tourist visiting Bhutan has hiked this very popular temple at Paro. The walk takes about 3 hours from the base camp. Temple looks just the size of a small golf ball from the base and at first, you may hesitate to hike by looking at the distant temple. Once you reach the temple the feeling you get upon completion of the trek is more significant than what you have in mind initially. There are monks living there and a head lama performing puja constantly inside the monastery. The temple lies 900m above Paro valley. If you hike further you will reach Bumdra, Bumdra trek is a 1-day trek program from Paro and is very popular among day hikers. We also organize luxury camping at the location.
