Take an exhilarating walk across Tachogang Lhakhang Bridge, the only way to reach the Tachog Lhakhang Dzong. Around 600 years old, the bridge remains sturdy, but not for the fainthearted or those afraid of heights. You'll be able to see straight through the chain-linked floor to the ground below, so keep your belongings close in case they slip through the cracks. For Tachogang Lhakhang Bridge and beyond, use our Paro travel route planner to get the most from your Paro vacation.
