Some tips before going ahead on this awesome trek. It's a 9km uphill walk so be sure to carry all your supplies. Even if it's cold at the base you'll start feeling hot halfway. The view is just mesmerizing from the top. Also start early. Happy trekking.

It dates back to 8th century meditation site, the temple was built in 1962 around the cave. The place where Guru Padmasambhava meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours,back in 8th century. Located 10,240ft over paro valley. The trek is challenging takes around 3.5 hours. Don't forget to stop at the cafeteria on the half way if you want to take some great pictures, would recommend the same while coming down, the the view around 3-4pm is majestic.

About the trek: Took us 4 hours to reach the top. My parents went back after reaching the cafeteria at halfway point. The cafeteria is expensive.
There are water taps at various points of the trek, so a 500ml water bottle would be enough. (Not sure if RO purified) That with glucose powder should be enough and keep yourself light.
If it rains the path might become slippery. Avoid the trek or cut it short in that case.
I would recommend wearing shorts and a light wind cheater if you are aiming for halfway. Shorts are frowned upon at the temple.
About the temple itself: Just like other monasteries of Bhutan, there are statues and idols of the various deities of Bhutan. There are places where the Guru Rinpochen interacted with various artifacts. You can light a butter lamp for some charge.response / report this review -
