Himalayan Gold: Harvesting Yarsagumba at 5,500 Meters | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Every spring, deep in the Himalayas, a dangerous gold rush begins. Tens of thousands of Nepalese villagers leave their homes to hunt for Yarsagumba—a mysterious and rare fungus-insect hybrid worth up to $60,000 per kilo in Chinese markets. More valuable than gold, it’s believed to have powerful medicinal properties... and it’s transforming entire communities. Suga Lal, a poor farmer, climbs as high as 5,500 meters with his wife and two sons, hoping to collect enough of this elusive treasure to survive the year. But the higher they go, the harder it gets—and the fewer specimens they find. Meanwhile, Dhanchandra, a buyer working for a wealthy Kathmandu dealer, travels camp to camp carrying bags of cash. His job is risky—bandits are everywhere—and sometimes the harvest must be escorted by armed soldiers just to reach the capital. From snowy Himalayan cliffs to luxury pharmacies in Hong Kong, this is the untold story of the Himalayan Gold Rush—a journey of survival, ambition, and extremes.
