The history is associated with the visit of Guru Padmasambhava, the Indian saint who came To Bhutan in the 8th century AD. The cave was named Taktshang after Guru Rinpoche flew into the cave from KurToe Singye Dzong in eastern Bhutan riding on a tigress.
Later in 1692, the fourth Druk Desi Tenzin Rabgye started To construct monastery and finally completed after three years in 1694.
