Far-Western Region of Nepal – Dolpa District
Discover the Unique Origins of Mad Honey in Nepal’s Enchanting Wilderness
Dolpa
Dolpa, one of Nepal’s most remote and mystical regions, is a land of unspoiled natural beauty and cultural richness. At its heart lies the breathtaking Shey Phoksundo National Park. Encircled by the Dhaulagiri and Churen Himal ranges to the east and south, and bordered by Jumla district to the west, Dolpa promises an unforgettable journey into the wild. Trekking through Lower Dolpa unveils a world of spectacular landscapes and timeless traditions.
Tribeni
Tribeni, a small and isolated village in the far-western region of Nepal, is home to about 200 people. This tranquil settlement is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, ancient Buddhist monasteries, serene lakes, and a rich array of wildlife, making it a hidden gem for those seeking solitude and wonder.
Honey Hunters of Dolpa
The honey hunters of Dolpa, primarily from the Gurung, Sarki, and Sherpa communities, are keepers of a bold tradition. Once a year, they ascend cliffs as high as 3,200 meters to harvest honey, a task requiring extraordinary skill and courage. The people of this region are known for their warm hospitality and a way of life deeply intertwined with Tibetan culture, reflected in their enchanting traditions and spiritual practices.
The International Standard on Mad honey You can Trust
Traceable sourcing (Nepal + Turkey)
We work with trusted partners in Nepal, sourcing through mountain communities where this honey is traditionally harvested. This isn’t anonymous bulk honey bought and relabeled—it’s a relationship-based supply chain where origin and handling are taken seriously.
And when we source from Turkey, we apply the exact same standard.
Batch-level lab reports and our rejection standard
Because GTX levels can vary, every batch we consider is tested by European labs, and we publish those reports. If results come back outside our thresholds or if anything looks inconsistent we don’t buy it.
If we don’t trust the batch, it never becomes a product.
Controlled serving guidance
The internet is full of mad honey horror stories for one reason: people treat it like a gamble.
That’s not what we sell.
We push the opposite philosophy: Start small. Wait. Observe. Stay in control.
We recommend starting with one teaspoon because responsible serving is what separates a calm ritual from an uncomfortable experience. We have also designed a proper dosage spoon you can purchase if you want consistent measuring.
Transparency checklist
If you’re buying mad honey online, you deserve answers without digging through forums. So we’ve built Real Mad Honey around a simple checklist:
Real origin (not vague “Himalayan” branding)
Batch-level testing (not generic “lab tested” claims)
A rejection standard (unsafe or inconsistent batches don’t get sold)
Clear serving guidance (no chasing intensity)
Honest expectations (some feel it strongly, others feel little — that’s normal)
Claims backed by real customers (Customer Interviews / Testimonials / Surveys)
