Paro
The Rinpung Dzong means “heaps of jewels” and while most of its treasures were sadly lost in a 1907 fire, one sacred thangka painting was saved and the dzong displays it alongside an impressive collection of antique and modern costumes. Just outside of Paro is the Paro Taktsang, more commonly known as the Tiger’s Nest. Clinging to a rock face at the site where Guru Rinpoche meditated for three years straight, it’s a striking collection of terraced monastery buildings and caves.
