vbnautilus 48 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 That place looks awesome! I'd love to hear the story!It's called the Tiger's Nest (or Taktshang) monastery, and it's built in to the side of a mountain in Bhutan with like a 2000 foot drop to the valley below (though the elevation of the monastery is about 10,000 feet). There's this little scary staircase carved into the mountain that you have to walk up to get to it. It is a sacred building and non-Bhutanese are now allowed to enter. Tourists are only allowed to view it from the next peak over. However, I figured it was worth a shot and I climbed down to the spot just below where the guard was. He asked me if I was Bhutanese, and I did not want to lie so I said no. Strangely, he didn't believe me. I am just a plain old white guy, although I have darkish skin and have been mistaken for a lot of different ethnicities. "You look bhutanese. Go up." I think he just liked my vibe, I was in a pretty meditative place at that point in my life. I climbed up the steps and wandered into the temple. There were these little old bhutanese guys in ornate robes sitting in these little rooms, with the windows looking out over the cliff. Bhutanese bhuddism is pretty similar to Tibetan if you know what that is like. They have these old brass horns that they blow every once in a while that echoes through the valley. They looked up at me briefly and and motioned for me to make an offering to the bhudda-thing in the center of the room. Having no idea what to do I just kinda bowed to it or something and then sat down with them for a while. Was pretty surreal. Link to post Share on other sites

As we were walking up the stairs to get on the plane, my little brother was behind me and then it was Hayden. I regret to this day that I didn't turn around and say "I have the high ground, Anakin, don't try it." Link to post Share on other sites
