One of Bhutan's most famous and iconic landmarks, Paro Taktsang is a Buddhist monastery perched on a steep cliff at 3,120 meters above sea level on the side of the Paro Valley. Legend has it that the monastery was built on the spot where Padmasambhava descended on a tiger, hence the name Tiger's Nest. The Bhutanese people consider it their holiest site.
What does Paro Taktsang do and what does it look like inside, given its inaccessible location? I heard that Paro Taktsang is located on a cliff near a valley, can you get a good view of the terrain, such as cliffs and valleys?
I heard that there is a 51.5 meter tall bronze Buddha statue in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, called the Dorden Dzong, which is said to be the tallest in the world. Have you ever seen the Dorden Dzong in person, and if so, can you show me a picture of the inside? I'm not religious, so I'm curious about the significance of the Dorden Dzong in Bhutan, where most people practice Buddhism.
I have heard that Bhutan also ranks 38th in climate change vulnerability and 62nd in preparedness. Due to its Himalayan location, it is expected to experience an average temperature increase that is three times higher than the global average. Bhutan's plans to respond to climate change include establishing a national weather and flood warning center, strengthening scientific facilities, and improving early warning systems for GLOFs. The plan also emphasizes improving waste management and promoting sustainable urbanization by adopting the Zero Waste Bhutan initiative by 2030, I'm curious to know how Zero Waste Bhutan disposes of waste in an eco-friendly way.
