Apart from the natural beauty and about 1 million tourists annually, the mountains of Nepal offer something else unique. One of the strangest honeys in the world is made here.drug honey. The village is only about 150 kilometers from the capital Kathmandu but takes two days by car. We arrive in the evening. The villagers are from the Gurung tribe, with their own language and culture. In the culture of the villagers, guests are sacred. Upon our arrival, an elderly lady of the family knows we are going to find honey tomorrow, puts a bracelet around the necks of all those who go to the mountains and says a prayer for safe return. About 20 men from the village are making guris. The young men have to turn the bamboo fibers with great strength and arms to make strong ropes. Older people also observe the process. We search for beehives with drones and binoculars. The older men on the team believe they have a better chance of finding beehives near a lagoon. It is time to collect honey. About 25 young and old people from the village, each with a specific task, have set out for the honey collection site.
