Tigers Nest Monastery, Bhutan
This Buddhist temple is where Guru Rinpoche, also known as the Second Buddha, was said to have meditated. The temple boasts of outstanding architecture and amazing beauty. It is located in the Himalayas on high cliffs above the Paro Valley. Guru Rinpoche was said to have appeared while riding a flying tiger. He then retreated to this place to mediate and subjugate the evil spirits trying to conquer his will. It is now considered to be one of the most sacred places in Bhutan. The temple also offers an astounding view of the surrounding areas.
