Why Nepalese Shilajit is highly demanded around the world?

Nepal possesses some of the tallest and virgin section of the Himalayas, especially in areas such as Dolpa, Mustang, Humla and Jumla.

Below are some reasons what makes Nepalese Shilajit is high demand.

• Minimum Contamination: Himalayan collection places are far, which provides the exposure to fewer amounts of pollutants and heavy metals.
• Local Harvesting: Harvesting is done by local people who are using the traditional methods that have been used by their fore fathers and this ensures that the land is put into use without degrading it.
• Connection with the Everest: The elixir harvested from the himalayan country with the highest mountain peaks gives a unique selling point to the Shilajit from Nepal.
