EVEREST & SHERPA

Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, stands tall at a majestic 29,029 feet above sea level. Located in the Himalayas, the mountain has long been a source of fascination and inspiration for climbers from all corners of the globe.

But for the local Sherpa people, Everest holds a special place in their hearts. The Sherpas, who hail from the Solu-Khumbu region of Nepal, have a deep spiritual connection to the mountain and have played a crucial role in the history of its exploration.

Since the first successful ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, the Sherpas have played a vital role in assisting climbers on the mountain. They are known for their strength, endurance, and bravery, as well as their expert knowledge of the mountain and its routes.

The Sherpas are responsible for setting up camps, carrying gear and supplies, and fixing ropes and ladders on the mountain. They also serve as guides, helping climbers navigate the treacherous terrain and making sure they stay safe.

But the relationship between the Sherpas and Everest is not without its challenges. The mountain can be an unforgiving and dangerous place, and Sherpas have lost their lives while working on it. In 2014, an avalanche killed 16 Sherpas, bringing attention to the risks they face and the need for better safety measures.

Despite these challenges, the bond between the Sherpas and Everest remains strong. The mountain holds a special place in their culture and identity, and the work they do on it is seen as a way to honor their ancestors and make a living.

The story of Everest and the Sherpas is one of adventure, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. It is a tale that has inspired countless climbers and will continue to do so for generations to come

The Himalayan honey (Cliff mad Honey )is 100% natural and organic carefully collected from the cliff in keeping with the traditional and rare honey hunting methods. Honey in the months of May and June is quite different from the other usual varieties of honey. It is in these months that herbal plant flowers and over 28 varieties of rhododendron flowers bloom in the Himalayan region. The many types of flowers attract the giant Himalayan bee to suck nectar and pollen from certain types of flowers and collect honey.

The honey thus collected is rare and is rich in medicinal properties packed with hallucinogenic compounds. The special honey has many types of health benefits with increasing immunity power, and this honey is antique and rare, which is not available anywhere else in the world. This honey is also psychedelic. and is taken in very little quantities. Consumption of mad honey if taken even in slightly higher quantities can lead to hallucination with symptoms of behaving funnily, feeling unstable and light-headed, loss of consciousness, chills, and sinking in some parts of one’s body. There are special honey hunting places, some in villages, and some in Kathmandu. Those who take quite a large amount of honey risk go into a coma for a few hours but they soon wake-up. Honey hunting is quite risky Hunters use traditional hunting equipment. There have been incidents of accident in the past where honey hunters have gone on cliff to see bee colony before honey hunting without wearing bee safety on face.

The bees stung them and they lost their balance and fell to their death. Honey hunters have recently started using proper belay, but they still rely on traditional ropes and rope ladders. They have been hunting from a long time and the tradition has been passed on to them by their forefathers. Honey hunting tradition is being transferred from one generation to the next.Mostly, the honey hunting area lies in the remote regions of Himalayas with poor connectivity to the cities, making traditional honey hunters oblivious to modern equipment. They suspect modern methods and choose to stick to their traditional equipment. The demand for Himalayan honey is tremendously rising for its medicinal properties. One can sell more than 4,000 kilos annually to foreign clients as well as Nepali clients.  A Himalayan village which has the honey hunting area will have one or two families engaged in honey hunting. In addition, other villagers will accompany them and help them in honey hunting. A single group can earn up to 1,000 USD to 3,000 USD. The largest chunk of money is earned by the man who climbs up on the rope ladder and harvests honey on the cliff. Most hunters are farmers from the village and their main job is framing and growing food for their own use.

Cliff mad honey  hunting is only a seasonal job for them that offers hem good money. These areas do not have any tourists. There will be some who would venture into these areas without paying tourist costs. Since honey hunters are too busy in their risky pursuits, they hardly find time to interact with tourists, but with tourist costs being regulated, the honey hunters as well as villagers can guide tourists through the entire area. Some of these people have been visited by journalists and photographers, however, not everyone can walk with them in the honey hunting area as they are capricious and far from the village, and some are really afraid of bees. Climbing up the rope ladder sometimes gets excruciating because of small shoes.

The pandemic caused by Covid19 boosted the sales of this honey due to its medicinal properties which boosted immunity.  I want to connect with all honey hunters from Nepal and collect honey directly with them by managing staff. Because the honey demand is rising. And this is a natural and limited product. So, I am planning to add another special product line under this company.
