SUMMARY:
A note dated 11 December 1913 mentions an item sent from a box and describes the dramatic site of the Bhutanese monastery at Tak Sang, known as 'Tiger's lair', above a 600–700 ft ravine. The writer remarks that even after 60 years of seeing Tibetan monasteries, this location caused unparalleled astonishment.
CONTENT:
11.12.13. sent
from box 23.6.
Linden "Tiger's lair" - a great
chasm with a vertical drop of
600-700 ft into the ravine below.
During the past 60 years I have
gradually become accustomed
to the amazing sites often chosen
for Tibetan monasteries, but the
extraordinary situation of this
Bhutanese monastery at Tak Sang
caused me greater astonishment
than any I have hitherto seen.
