Honey Hunting Nepal is a frequently practiced activity of the native Gurung and Magar localities Bhujung and Pasgaon among others. With honey hunting tour Nepal, the gathering of wild honey, people are able to supplement their simple sparse daily bread. The generations-long practice of honey hunting is still practiced today in many remote villages of Nepal. Honey hunting is offering a good opportunity for tourists to be there. A large part of travelers testifies to a growing interest in honey hunting, which continues to be practiced by the locals.

Except in Ghalegoan, Bhujung, and the entire Annapurna region, it has spread in Dhading and Jharlang, as well as the Ganesh Himal, the Arun Valley, Makalu, and other trekking areas and has become interesting for Honey Hunting Nepal as a new tourist activity. A special travel package has been developed for the tourists in Nepal for Honey hunting. Only a few happy tourists get the chance to watch the honey hunting during a trek in Nepal.

Beehives in Cliffs

There are countless beehives that lie along the various trekking paths. They are technically and scientifically exploited and represent a significant potential for extracting honey as an additional crop and food. The honey hunt, the collection of honey from the wild bees’ nests, which clings to the steep cliffs, has an ancient tradition. Local honey hunters demonstrate their exceptional skills by hanging onto the 300-meter high vertical cliffs using bamboo ladders and hemp ropes as they harvest the honeycombs. Everyone is excited to watch the hunters doing their sweet work.

We organize this type of honey hunting tour in connection with a trekking tour. This is a guest house, home-stay, and camping trek including the honey hunt. We have good experiences with the honey hunters who do their work there, you will enjoy the excursion during your trip here to Nepal. Come to us on your holiday and discover the local tradition and interesting culture in Nepal. Do not forget your camera along with you to capture your memories!

Highlights of Honey Hunting Nepal

The Honey Hunting Trek runs at the foot of the mountains of the Annapurna massif. Watch the spectacular honey hunt tour on the steep beech cliffs. Welcome to the Gurung people and learn about their culture, traditions, and customs. This holiday gives you the opportunity to do so while hiking in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Our honey hunting program changes more often as the locations of bee colonies and hives change. The bees often change colonies, they choose steep and inaccessible rock faces and cliffs. So that the honey hunters are always on the lookout for new “prey”.

Rock Cliff Honey Hunting is a natural process and also depends on the nature of the bee colonies and conditions of the particular hunting season so that the hunting grounds in the steep and dangerous cliffs can change, and then the programs are changed accordingly.

We are happy to organize a honey hunting Nepal tour as a private tour for a minimum of 2 participants. You can also extend the honey hunting tour as per your interest. The Honey Hunt Nepal Tour can also take place prior to an Annapurna Tour or be linked to Ghorepani (Poon Hill) and Pokhara.
