Wild Honey Hunting Trek/Expedition in Nepal, also known as Mad Honey Hunting, is a one-of-a-kind adventure activity in Nepal. Honey hunting is also a part of the ancient culture of many civilizations. It is a real and common activity of Nepalese indigenous people that has been practiced for thousands of years.
Honey hunting primarily entails extracting honey from massive beehives nestled in cliffs 200 meters to 500 meters high using traditionally weaved rope. Seeing this feat performed by local honey-hunting experts in your honey-hunting journey will be a mesmerizing event.
The standard 12-day honey hunting Trek itinerary offered by Amigo Treks & Expeditions allows you to fully enjoy all of the attractions of Ghalegaon, Karpu Dada, and Sikles, as well as some of the major attractions of Pokhara Valley. However, the expedition can be completely tailored to your specific needs, requirements, budget, and number of days in Nepal. All customized packages include a special group discount. Full board is provided during the trek, as well as bed and breakfast before and after the trek. Accommodation is managed in a 3-star standard hotel before and after the trek; however, during the trek, you have the option of homestays or tented camps. During your trek/expedition, you will be served traditional Nepali cuisine prepared by the host family.

Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu Welcome to Kathmandu, Nepal's capital city. Your first day with Amigo Treks and Expeditions begins today. As a result, we send one of our company representatives to meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and accompany you to a tourist-standard hotel. If possible, we also schedule a briefing about the trek at our office, followed by an introduction session with other team members (especially Sherpas and guides).
Day 2: Drive to Khudi Today's destination is Khudi, which is 186 kilometers and about a seven-hour drive from Kathmandu. As a result, a private vehicle will pick you up from your hotel early in the morning. After leaving Kathmandu, we will travel west towards Dumre, following the Prithvi Highway along the Trishuli River. When the bus arrives in Dumre, it heads north towards Besisahar and then Khudi, following the road along the Marsyangdi River.
Day 3: Trek to Ghalegaun Today is the trip's fourth day, and we have finally arrived at the trek's destination, Ghalegaon. With Khudi as a starting point, the trail continues through the beautiful forest, providing a wonderful opportunity to spot a variety of wildlife and birds, as well as small villages, presenting a glimpse of the typical Himalayan lifestyle and culture. The evening will be spent exploring the beautiful Gurung settlement. The night will be spent at one of the locals' homes (homestay), taking advantage of the amenities provided by the host family.
Day 4: Trek to Bhujung We will explore Ghale Gaun in the morning and then begin our walk towards Bhujung, the largest Gurung settlement in the Annapurna Conservation Area. We will stop in Ghanapokhara, which offers a breathtaking view of the Annapurna and Manaslu Ranges. We then walk for a couple of hours to get to Bhujung. After a brief rest at your lodging, we will proceed to the village's important landmarks, such as the Bhujung Museum and other local attractions. We return to our homestay after our exploration.
Day 5: Explore Honey Hunting Today is a busy honey-hunting day. You will accompany the honey hunters on their journey to a nearby cliff. The honey hunters carefully rigged the ropes and climbed the steep hills. They approach the honeycombs with a long pole to extract honey.
