Honey Hunting and Bees in Your Bonnet!

麻豆社 India's adventurous reporters join the cliff-face wild honey harvesters of Nepal.

Hunting for wild honey is an old tradition in rural Nepal, and extremely dangerous too, as the bees make their combs on sheer cliff-faces. Villagers descend rope ladders suspended over the void to harvest the honeycomb. And this year the action was filmed by 麻豆社 India journalists Aamir Peerzada and Neha Sharma.
