Mountain Snowmelt
Hand Harvesting
Initial Verification
Kathmandu Certification
The annual harvest window opens only after the high-altitude snowmelt, typically a brief six-week period in late spring.
Indigenous harvesters, guided by generations of knowledge, carefully locate and extract each wild Yarsagumba specimen by hand.
Each specimen is immediately inspected for integrity and quality at the base camp before transport down the mountain.
Founder Pema Yangzen Lama personally verifies every batch in Kathmandu, ensuring unadulterated purity before dispatch.
Direct From The Harvesters
Lama Reserve was founded to eliminate counterfeit intermediaries, ensuring a direct, transparent trade route from the high-altitude Himalayan harvesters to discerning global practitioners. This guarantees both authenticity and fair compensation for the communities.
Every batch is traceable back to its precise harvesting region, preserving the integrity of the supply chain and delivering unadulterated wild Yarsagumba to your hands.
