Wild Honey Hunting Tour in Lamjung

Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu. Our representative meets you and transfers you to a private vehicle for a scenic drive to a village in the Lamjung district, the gateway to the honey hunting sites.

Begin a moderate trek through terraced hills and forests to a base camp village near the hunting cliffs. Along the way, you will be surrounded by the majestic views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. Spend the afternoon immersing yourself in Gurung culture and traditions.

The day is dedicated to the traditional preparations for the honey hunt. You will learn about the rituals and prayers performed by the hunters to appease the mountain spirits and ensure a safe harvest. Witness the team preparing their handmade tools, including bamboo ladders and baskets.

This is the main event. Trek to a safe viewing point to witness the breathtaking honey harvest. Watch as the brave honey hunters descend from a high cliff using handmade ropes and ladders, carefully cutting the massive honeycombs. The experience is a thrilling spectacle of daring skill and teamwork.

After the hunt, you have the opportunity to taste the fresh, wild "mad honey" and learn about its medicinal and cultural significance. Spend the rest of the day exploring the local village, visiting temples, and interacting with the community.
