Paro Taktsang (also known as the Taktsang Palphug Monastery and the Tiger’s Nest), is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site. The temple complex, first built in 1692, is located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley in Bhutan.
The temple hangs on a precarious cliff at 3,120 meters (10,240 ft), about 900 meters (3,000 ft) above the Paro valley. I undertook the strenuous 900 meter climb to the very top in order to get the “money shot”. Incredible!
Desto just returned from a trip to Asia, visiting Bhutan, Bangladesh, Laos and Thailand. We will be posting our photos on Instagram instead of the usual “postcards” here on our Desto3 webpage.
We encourage all our subscribers to go to their Instagram account and follow “Pablo Skolnick”. Our photos of this trip will be posted there. And if you don’t have an instagram account, we encourage you to create one. If you love photography as we do, this is a fun social media site to be on.
Desto3 is undergoing changes now and we will let you know when we continue posting our famous postcards.
See you on Instagram,
The Desto3 team.
