Welcome to Honey Hunting Tour

Step back in time and witness an ancient tradition with CorsaNepalAdventure.com's immersive Honey Hunting Tour. This extraordinary journey takes you deep into the heart of Nepal's remote Himalayan foothills, where indigenous communities, particularly the Gurung and Magar tribes, have practiced the perilous art of wild honey harvesting for centuries.

More than just a tour, this is a cultural odyssey and a testament to human courage and ingenuity. You'll trek through stunning landscapes, passing traditional villages and lush forests, to reach the dramatic cliff faces where the giant Himalayan honeybees (Apis laboriosa) build their enormous hives.

Witness a Daring Spectacle: Observe firsthand the incredible skill and bravery of the local honey hunters. Using handmade bamboo ladders and ropes, they descend hundreds of feet down sheer cliffs, battling swarms of bees to collect the prized honeycombs. It's a breathtaking display of an age-old craft passed down through generations.

Cultural Immersion: Engage with the local communities, learning about their traditions, rituals, and way of life deeply intertwined with honey hunting. Experience genuine Nepalese hospitality through homestays and cultural performances.

Taste the "Mad Honey": In some regions, the honey harvested from these wild bees, particularly during certain seasons (spring), is known as "Mad Honey" due to its unique, mildly hallucinogenic properties derived from rhododendron nectar. Experience this rare delicacy (with expert guidance and in moderation, of course).

Scenic Trekking: The journey to the honey hunting sites often involves trekking through picturesque landscapes, offering stunning views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges, lush rhododendron forests, and tranquil villages.
