Mad Honey

Sherpa Honey was born out of a profound curiosity for one of nature’s most fascinating nectars- mad honey. In 2023, we took an unforgettable journey to mountaintops of the Himalayas in a quest to learn about the legendary Himalayan cliff honey and the culture of the infamous Nepal honey hunters.

What started as a curious adventure soon morphed into a life-altering experience. Shortly upon our arrival, the Nepalese Gurung community welcomed us with open arms and shared the communities’ deep-rooted healing traditions and fascinating history surrounding the honey.

We were enlightened about the healing effects of mad honey, and its integral role in their healing culture. Contrary to our expectations of the honey being solely used as a hallucinogen, we were surprised to learn that the Gurung use mad honey at lower dosages to provide various wellness benefits such as boosting mood, calming restless nerves, boosting mental clarity and even as using it as an aphrodisiac.

Since that time, we have become passionate advocates for mad honey, believing whole-heartedly in its use a wellness tonic and a beneficial gift from Mother Nature. Our journey has given us a deep respect for this Himalayan nectar and inspired us to share our message with the world.
