His reason for building a temple in chorten form is because it is said to immobilize demons and proclaim the victory of Buddhism.

DAY: 3: Taktsang Hike.
One of the most amazing and important pieces of architecture in Bhutan, Taktsang Goemba defies logic, gravity, and reason. Legend has it that this Cliffside was where Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) landed on the back of a flying tigress, bringing Buddhism to Bhutan from Tibet. To avoid the hot sun an early start is advisable for the two-hour climb to the Tiger’s Nest viewpoint. Descend steeply, and then climb up to the monastery, passing a waterfall and entering through the main gates which are filled with murals. Retrace our steps or alternatively. In the evening, we invite you to spend the rest of the day relaxing along with scrolling around the town.
