The monastery is perched at 3,140M, looking, for all intents and purposes, like it is growing out from the granite. It is believed that Guru Rinpoche, in 7th century AD, flew on the back of a Tiger to the monastery鈥檚 current location, hence the name 鈥楾iger鈥檚 Nest鈥. Rinpoche subdued the evil spirits in the region then meditated in a cave for 3 months. As did Milarepa and Shabdrung Ngawang. It has been recognized as a holy area for many centuries.
