Tiger's Nest is the english translation for some places in Himalaya, and some places in Europe which are inspired by the asian ones.

It is mainly grottos in Tibet and Bhutan, where the famous Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava is said to have performed spirituality and meditated. Some say there are 13 Tiger's Nest.

Normally tigers can't fly, and they doesn't lay eggs, but the name has its root in the history of Padmasambhava: He is said to realized tiger-energy, which can fly, and to have made these places into "nest"'s for hatching disciples. It is especially together with his primary consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, he is known for this - and especially by doing tantra, which is a mix of sexuality and spirituality.

There is now a place called Tigerens Rede (http://www.tigersnest.dk) (Tiger's Nest in danish) in Denmark, where Anne Sophie Jørgensen teaches a modern form of this tiger-tantra-wisdom combined with christianity, and other sources.
