Description

Trek into the Annapurna foothills to witness the Gurung community's centuries-old cliff honey harvest, as hunters descend handwoven rope ladders to gather wild Himalayan honey from sheer rock faces
Honey Harvesting Availability and Alternative Experience

For generations, Gurung honey hunters in Nepal's mid-hills have practiced traditional cliffside honey hunting using rope ladders and handwoven baskets. During this 5-day trek, travelers have the opportunity to learn about this unique cultural tradition and, when conditions permit, observe a live honey harvest from a safe viewing point.

Live honey harvesting is a seasonal activity and depends on weather conditions, bee activity, and the availability and schedule of local honey hunters. Therefore, a live harvest cannot be guaranteed on every departure.

If a live honey harvest cannot take place during the scheduled trek, travelers can still experience Gurung culture through guided village walks, interactions with local communities, traditional hospitality, and insights into the history and cultural significance of honey hunting.

If the live honey harvest is an essential part of the advertised experience and cannot take place, travelers will receive a full refund for their booking.
