Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas\u2019 eastern edge, is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as 7,326m Jomolhari are popular trekking destinations. Paro Taktsang monastery (also known as Tiger\u2019s Nest) clings to cliffs above the forested Paro Valley<\/p>\n\n\n\n
