The Honey Hunters of Nepal have a 260 year-old tradition of scaling mountains in search for a rare honey only found in the Himalayas that makes people hallucinate. We travel to the depths of the country of Nepal in search for these brave people and capture their story.
These stories searching for some of the world's rawest and most authentic experiences is what I feel most excited about in this chapter of my journey as a story-teller. Super proud of this one, I hope you enjoy :)

Our friend Cory S Martin who shot this story with us, one of the best cinematographer on the internet right now JUST launched his own channel and we're trying to get his first few thousand subscribers. He created his own cinematic cut of this story, watch it here and subscribe!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGWc4z6TTgQ

One of the craziest experiences of my life! So stoked I was able to create this film with you boys! One of my favorites we’ve made together for sure and I love how it came out! Here’s to many more!!
-
The guide who just said he's tired because he just got home from Everest and just telling it like he just came from the grocery store is what gets me.
-
Hailing from Kathmandu, the urban lifestyle I enjoyed pretty much never got me into the depths of my own country sadly. I've heard about these honeys my entire life but never really knew anything more. Today I see people like Cody, from miles away coming here and exploring our country's hidden stories, just blows me away. Thank you brother.
-
Incredible story and film. If Ashdan is the last honey hunter if his village at least his work has been captured in such a beautiful and respectful way. His poses at the end were epic.
-
At this point, you guys honestly deserve you’re own National Geographic show 👏
-
No one has ever documented the honey-hunting process with such a level of production. Cheers guys and love from Nepal.
-
Im not kidding. I've watched this documentary about 10 times, and it still amazes me everytime. The way you guys are able to capture this community and the tradition even with the language barrier amazes me. The art that you guys create, the combination of the skill of Cory and your ability to handle the camera, the editing, the sound, everything creates such a beathiful image. The most amazing part to me is how you can combine the style of documentary and vlogging without destroying either one. Beathiful!

i am from india and here we respect the nepali peoples coz they're so hardworking and very kind hearted.
-
I absolutely love how many folks from Nepal are thrilled in the comments about this video. What a great job at respecting and honoring an age old tradition and culture.
-
The first person to start harvesting this honey and start this tradition must have been 10x as mad. Truly amazing, glad this was captured for all to see.
-
Shaman guy is my favorite, they are so happy to meet new people and its almost unbelieveable how genuine and honest is all of those people... This video is a masterpiece and im loving every minute of it
-
When I was younger, I had a teacher who went to Nepal and told us about the bees. I’ve been interested in the country ever since then and hope to visit Nepal one day. Thanks for the awesome video!
-
The Nepalese are one of the most humble, friendliest & hospitable people I have ever met. Your video is such an eye opener on this unique Nepali harvest of mountain honey. Thank you for this amazing video worthy to be in National Geography.
-
I am from Nepal and am genuinely speechless for the adventure you guys have done with courage. We are here ready to welcome people from all around to world with a smiley face and true hospitality from the heart. lots of love from Nepal.

Damn, Cory is just amazing! This level of cinematography in a YouTube video is just over the top. Can't believe i am watching this for free, yes theory is one of those channels that stood by the test of time and kept producing amazing videos. If anything their videos have only gotten a lot lot better.
-
This is one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen. You do such an amazing job depicting what this would actually look like (obviously you were there) but for the viewer, what an experience. Thank you for this.
-
I'm from Nepal and I cannot appreciate Yes Theory enough for creating this film. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
-
I'm a silent watcher I spend hours in yt everyday and never comment but this video I couldn't resist! This video is so well structured we have the impression of being there with you, the quality is impeccable,those shots that were taken are beautiful we really submerge through them! Thank you so much for showing us their amazing history of hunting honey,if it weren't for you guys I wouldn't imagine how hard and dangerous their journey is! Beautiful video, thank you so much for offering us this masterpiece (:

I was just going to fast forward through this to get to the good parts, but I’m loving every minute of it so far. Great job, guys. You make me feel as if I’m taking the trip with you.
