Take a (Royal) hike! Kate barely breaks a sweat as she treks for three hours - in full makeup - with Wills to a remote Tiger's Nest monastery up a Bhutan clifftop 10,000ft above sea level

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge today enjoyed one of the highlights of their trip - a trek to the breath-taking Tiger's Nest monastery in Paro Taktsang, Bhutan (pictured inset).

Built into the side of a steep cliff above a beautiful forest of rhododendrons, some 10,000 feet above sea level, it is one of the most stunning temples in the world.


The walk up the mountainside - in soaring temperatures - takes up to three hours each way. But Kate, who wore knee-high boots and a leather vest for the trek (pictured left), barely broke a sweat looked radiant as she posed for a picture at the top with her husband (right).

The couple chatted briefly with a guide, Kate asking: 'Do you have many rescues here?' But they declined offers of water or to sit down on two a specially created seats draped with fabric under a parasol. 'Half-way, let's keep going, let's keep moving,' he said.
