Thangtong Gyalpo, the saint-engineer credited with 108 iron bridges across Tibet and Bhutan, built this one around 1420, after a vision of Avalokiteshvara in the form of a spiritual horse. That vision gives Tachog Lhakhang its name: temple of the hill of the excellent horse. The chain bridge still crosses the Paro Chhu on the Paro to Thimphu highway near Chhuzom, and the crossing is the real draw.
