Physical Fitness for Nepal Bhutan Tour
Tiger’s nest Bhutan tour is a natural, doable hike that any travel enthusiast with average physical fitness can complete and enjoy.
However, Individuals with respiratory/heart/knee problems can find this hike to be challenging.
The hike duration may vary depending on the trekker’s walking pace. Walk at your own pace and listen to your body so that you can enjoy the journey to the fullest.
For people who are after 60 years, climbing Tiger’s Nest indeed posed a challenge, but it was a test of our will-power and tenacity. However, with the combination of proper itinerary management and customer handling of the travel agency, you can accomplish your journey happily. You may want to bring hiking poles to help out your knees on the descent, whereas some people chose to stop at the viewpoint with the row of prayer wheels or prefer to call it a day at the cafeteria and turn back.
You should always monitor your fitness and walk accordingly. For those with physically fit health and having enough previous hiking experience, then you can choose to hike from the bottom of the cliff. Luckily, you can take a ride on a horse/mule donkey to reach the mid-way if you feel unfit to walk to the top.
Some tips for traveling to Tiger’s Nest Bhutan
• Keep yourself hydrated to make your journey comfortable.
• Slow and steady is the ideal pace for any trek or hike. You’ll gain elevation very fast. Hence, you may feel short of breath. Make sure to rest when necessary. Thus, climb at your own pace. Paro Taktsang is a monastery along with many religious statues and monks around. You must follow the dress etiquette in mind. Avoid shorts, T-shirts, sleeveless tops, etc. As the ticket counter only opens at 7:00 am, you are the urge to verify with your guide for confirmation of time.
You’ll need to remove shoes, hats, caps, and sunglasses before entering the temples and monastery. You need to put on comfortable boots with ankle support, which makes for a pleasant walk. Wearing slippers will make it hard to walk. Wear thicker darker shocks. Sweater or summer jackets should be carried with you to protect yourself from the wind. You’ll need to store your bags, cameras, mobile phones in lockers right before you enter the monastery. The tour vehicles can only stop at the car park at the valley base. At the Monastery entrance, you need to keep the belongings, including mobile phones in a locker. So carry lock and keys to lock the locker.
• You will find the cafeteria mid-way. The animal ride will take you till here. From here, you need to walk. You can also have lunch or rest here.
• Having a walking stick with you for the hike is a great idea. The walking sticks will help you with balance, especially for the downhill climb.
• Bringing some snacks or energy bars will be helpful in replenishing energy during the hike
