Admire the famous Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest), which is built on a cliff and exhibits the depth of Bhutan's spirituality and architectural mastery. Travelers may see a distinctive fusion of modernity and traditional customs in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, where they can see sites like the Tashichho Dzong and the Buddha Dordenma Statue.
