Who we are
Rare Mad Honey is no less than any exquisite prize acquired after a great endeavor. Only the bravest honey hunters of the nomadic tribes of the Himalayas dare to hunt for Rare Mad Honey and only the most daredevil venture to try it.
Mad honey, a rare and natural delicacy, is a unique type of honey harvested from the nectar of rhododendron flowers found in the mountainous regions of Nepal. Produced by the rarest and largest bees in the world, the Himalayan bees can fly up to 4,200 m / 13,779 ft from sea level.
This honey is not only famed for its rich, slightly bitter taste and thick consistency but also for its psychoactive properties, attributed to the presence of grayanotoxins in the rhododendron plants. Traditionally used for its medicinal benefits, mad honey is believed to aid in digestion, improve general well-being, and offer a mild, calming euphoria. The process of honey harvesting is both an art and a skill, often passed down through generations of indigenous honey hunters of Nepal.
Our company specializes in sourcing the highest quality mad honey, ensuring a pure, authentic experience for those seeking to explore its distinctive flavor and natural benefits.

The unique flora of these regions, combined with the meticulous harvesting techniques, result in a honey so rare and precious, it’s a true luxury for those fortunate enough to experience it.
Why is Mad Honey Known as Psychedelic Hallucinogenic Honey?
Mad honey is produced by bees that collect nectar from specific species of Rhododendron flowers, which contain grayanotoxins. These flowers are typically found in remote, mountainous regions, making the location critical for the honey’s unique characteristics. The effects of mad honey stem from the way grayanotoxins interact with the body. These toxins bind to voltage-gated sodium channels, which are essential for nerve impulse transmission. By binding to these channels, grayanotoxins disrupt normal electrical activity in the nervous system, leading to the distinctive effects of mad honey.
Meet our heroes. the unsung stories of our heroes
The harvesting process is entrusted to skilled honey hunters in Nepal, many of whom come from families that have been engaged in this tradition for generations. These hunters possess intimate knowledge of the landscape, the behavior of the bees, and the intricate techniques required to safely and sustainably collect the honey. Their expertise is not just in climbing the steep, often treacherous cliffs where the beehives are located, but also in doing so in a way that respects the natural habitat of the bees and ensures the quality of the honey.

Bee delivering honey
The rarity and distinctiveness of our mad honey are deeply rooted in its harvesting process, which is a remarkable blend of tradition, skill, and natural specificity.
1. Forage for nectar by the bees
Mad honey is made by the largest bees Apis laboriosa, in the highest altitude of the mountains of Nepal. They forage on the nectar of rhododendron, a flower native to the Himalayas. These Rhododendrons contain grayanotoxins, a naturally occurring compound that, when ingested in significant amounts, has psychoactive effects.
3. Honey Harvesting
The bees travel and forage up to 2.5 miles (4 km approx.) for collection of nectar and pollen. These honeybees typically nest at lofty altitudes between 2,500 and 3,000 meters (8,200 to 9,800 feet), crafting massive nests beneath the overhangs of cliffs. These impressive nests can hold up to 60 kg (130 lbs) of honey.
5. Delivery
After thorough testing and certification to ensure safety and quality, mad honey is finally ready for distribution. It is carefully packaged and sent on its journey to customers across various parts of the world, delivering its unique and natural properties to those who seek it.

Understanding the rareness of the mad honey
“Hidden high in the rugged cliffs of the Himalayas, mad honey is a rare and elusive treasure, harvested in one of the most dangerous and remote environments on Earth—discover why it’s so coveted and hard to obtain.”
Rareness of Mad Honey
Mad honey is found in some of the highest altitudes, on the steepest cliffs of remote regions, making it extremely rare and difficult to harvest. Only local experts, with years of experience navigating through dense forests and rugged mountains, can access these challenging areas. Their deep knowledge and skill allow them to reach the towering hives, where the Himalayan giant honey bees create this unique honey, making it a truly special and hard-to-obtain natural product.
Recreational properties
Mad honey is not only prized for its medicinal uses but also for its unique recreational properties. Due to the presence of grayanotoxins, it has psychoactive effects when consumed in controlled amounts. People use mad honey for its ability to induce a mild euphoria, feelings of relaxation, and altered states of consciousness. These effects typically begin within 15 to 20 minutes of ingestion, making it a sought-after substance for those seeking a natural, yet potent, recreational experience..
Thrilling adventures of harvesting
The journey begins long before the honey hunters reach the towering cliffs where the bees make their homes. These remote locations are often difficult to access, requiring a trek through rugged terrain. Once at the site, the harvesters prepare for the climb, using handmade ladders and ropes, crafted from local materials, to scale cliffs that rise hundreds of feet high.
At the heart of the practice is the careful balance required to reach the massive honeycombs. Perched on narrow ledges, the honey hunters work with remarkable precision. The giant honey bees create nests in exposed areas, high up on the cliffs, making the task both physically demanding and exhilarating. The hunters must move swiftly to harvest the honey without disturbing the bees too much.
Healing properties
Mad honey has been revered in traditional medicine for centuries across various cultures of Nepal, earning a prominent place in history for its therapeutic properties. It has been widely used to treat ailments such as hypertension, digestive issues, and as a natural remedy for pain relief.
Significance in local communities
Mad honey is more than just a source of income for local communities; it is a treasured cultural asset passed down through generations. For the Gurung people and other indigenous groups, the practice of scaling the Himalayan cliffs to gather mad honey is not only a means of livelihood but also a key part of their identity, intricately tied to the majestic Himalayas. This ancient tradition strengthens their bond with the land and preserves a unique legacy of sustainable living and respect for nature.
