Climbing up to the
Takshang Lhakang "Tiger's Nest" - the holiest
temple in Bhutan |

 You can just make out the temple on the cliff face |
|
 Some people walk up the 800 metres climb just to get level with the monastery - and then there are hundreds of steep steps to cross the chasm - down then up to get to the monastery itself, - then down and up to return . . . . . |
|
 . . . . . and some people ride up most of the way |
