The Deadly Hunt For Nepal's "Mad Honey" Sells For ₹10,000/kg

High in Nepal's Himalayas, "Mad Honey" from rhododendron nectar contains grayanotoxin, causing euphoria or hallucinations at small doses, but danger at larger amounts. Harvested by Gurung hunters climbing cliffs with handmade ladders, it sells for ₹10,000/kg. Climate change and commercial demand now threaten this ancient tradition and fragile ecosystem.
