On the way back from the Tiger's Nest Monastery we were passing a farmer house which was in construction an nearly completed. The material for construction come from the nearby area around.

It is Bhutan's most photographed and most sacred place. This Buddhist monastery clings dramatically to a cliff 3,000 feet above a valley floor, and is often shrouded in mist. We could join locals in hanging Buddhist prayer flags.

Most tourists and other visitors stop at this viewing point to enjoy the vista to the Tiger's Nest Monastery. For most foreigners the finish point but we kept on climbing to the monastery.

"Wind is the natural element of the horse. As it gallops across the plain the wind arises to meet it, its long tail and mane flowing freely as it speeds through the stillness of the air, creating wind. Both the wind and the horse are natural vehicles of movement, the horse carrying material form and the wind ethereal form. Prayers are carried on the wind, and in Tibet the prayer flag is known as the Windhorse, Lung Ta, in Tibetan."
