Every spring in remote Nepal, tens of thousands of villagers embark on a perilous trek to the Himalayas to collect Yarsagumba, a rare caterpillar fungus worth up to $60,000 per kilo in China due to its medicinal properties. Suga Lal and his family leave their meager fields to join the Yarsagumba pickers, facing the challenge of finding this hidden treasure high in the mountains. Meanwhile, Dhanchandra, an agent for a wealthy dealer in Kathmandu, travels between camps with cash to buy the best specimens, risking robbery along the way. The harvested fungus is escorted by soldiers to Kathmandu, destined for luxurious pharmacies in Hong Kong. Experience the Himalayan Organic Gold Rush, where fortunes shift from poor Nepalese hands to the wealthiest consumers in China.

LOL sorry but if you can send your kids into the mountains at extremely dangerous temps you can also migrate elsewhere.. why stay? because its your home? your birthplace? I left my little corner of the world so when I see people cling to their little hidey holes instead of venture elsewhere Its just astounding.
Nepalese people are beautiful. I feel bad that they struggle and risk their lives to hunt for these Yarsagumbu and get paid very little, yet the dealers go and sell it for so much. It reminded me of the artists in Mexico who spend days to create an art piece and buyers still try to bargain for their merchandise. Bless those hunters.🙏

The western word, especially usa, has such horrible food. Its all artificial. Full of preservatives “so it never goes bad”…..never molds or rots because theres nothing nourishing in it . The synthetic cloth is horrible as well. Look up “fabric frequencies” ….whats really interesting is Bible as well as other ancient texts spoke on fabrics and what to wear etc as well as not. Now we are more recently just able to see how wise they were and the reasons why they say to wear wools. Or linen.

On my journey through the Himalayas, I found myself in the midst of an organic gold rush, harvesting Yarsagumbu. While trekking through the rugged terrain, I placed bets on chicken fights with locals, cheering on my favorites while chewing coca leaves for an energy boost. The thrill of the hunt for this rare fungus, alongside the excitement of the fights, created a unique blend of adventure and camaraderie. From the mountains to potential riches, it was a wild ride filled with unexpected turns.

In Tibetan “Yartsa Gumbu” (ཡར་ཚ་དགུན་བུ་) literally translates to “Summer Grass, Winter Insect”. This name reflects the life cycle of the Caterpillar Fungus. which is a parasitic fungus that infects a caterpillar (the insect) in the winter, and then grows into a fungus (the grass-like structure) during the summer months. It was first discovered in Tibet as early as the 6th or 7th century AD, although it may have been known to local people long before then. The fungus is a parasitic organism that infects caterpillars in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, including Tibet some parts of Nepal.
