The Story Behind Our Name

Despite their remarkable courage, the Gurung honey hunters face significant challenges. The growing demand for “mad honey” and the decline in bee populations pose threats to this ancient practice, putting their way of life at risk.

Inspired by their bravery and strong sense of community, we pay tribute to these honey hunters by naming our product after them.

Our aim is to raise awareness of their cherished tradition, ensuring it endures for future generations to appreciate and preserve.

An Ode to courage, community,
and craftsmanship

Perched high above the cliffs in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal, the Gurung ethnic group, known as the honey hunters, embark on a perilous journey to harvest honey. This centuries-old tradition holds significant cultural and religious importance and sustains the livelihoods of the entire village.

Before each hunt, the village gathers for a celebration, offering prayers for a successful harvest and the safe return of the hunters. The ritual serves to appease the forest gods. As the hunters disturb the natural habitat of the bees, they seek blessings for their safety and success.

The entire process of gathering honey is a communal endeavour. While some brave the cliffs, others in the village prepare equipment, ensuring a successful harvest.

Honey hunting requires skill passed down through generations and honed over centuries. Balanced precariously on bamboo ladders, the hunters collect the sweet nectar twice a year, during spring and autumn.
