Overview
Honey Hunting Tour in Nepal is an exciting adventure that can be performed in Nepal. It is the oldest custom in Dhading, Gorkha, and Kaski districts' rural areas. This tour is open to the brave and strong, who have a good understanding of rock climbing and information on wild bees. Honey is traditionally collected in the spring and autumn seasons.
In any case, Nepal has five different honeybee species. The bee sanctuaries are created by wild honeybees who cling to the stone. Honey hunting in Nepal is a religious activity in which locals sacrifice flowers, grains, and livestock to God before going hunting.
From the beginning until the Bee Hives, the height ranges between 300 and 400 meters. In comparison to scaling the stone with the help of a bamboo stepping stool or a rope, there are no simple solutions.
