3Paro Taktsang Monastery (Bhutan)
Though technically a monastery, the Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest) in Bhutan feels like one of the loneliest homes on Earth. Nestled high up in the cliffs of the Paro Valley, this Buddhist temple complex is only accessible via a steep mountain trail. The monastery’s remote location and breathtaking views of the valley below offer a profound sense of peace and solitude, drawing monks and pilgrims seeking spiritual retreat.
Why it’s special: Its spiritual significance and remote location create an atmosphere of tranquil isolation.
