Madventure - Embark on a Journey of Mad Honey Hunting

 

Are you ready for an unforgettable journey into the Himalayas? Join us in Lamjung, Nepal for a rare, behind-the-scenes experience of traditional honey hunting — guided by local expertise, rooted in Gurung culture, and built for travelers who want the real story.

“This isn’t a tour you watch from a distance — it’s a tradition you witness with the people who live it.”

Why Lamjung?

Lamjung is where our story begins. For generations, the Gurung community has preserved the art of honey hunting — a demanding cliff tradition shaped by teamwork, respect for nature, and local rituals. You’ll explore villages, forest trails, and the dramatic cliff landscapes that define this heritage.
