- More valuable than gold, Yarsagumba fungus is only found in the Himalayan mountains above 3,000 metres (10,000 feet).
Every spring people come from miles around to search for the precious crop, which sells for more than $100 a gram across Asia and the US.

I laughed at how ridiculous the title was at first but then cried when I watched the video. It was touching. People who never experienced having no food on the table will never understand but the hard work and effort this people do everyday just to go on living is incomparable. I wish them the best.
Mountain people are very hard working and really put a lot of hard work for survival
No one gonna comment on the fact that the trader guy pays less than 5 bucks for something that gets him over 100 a g??
Ryan Marshall that is a shock. Totally exploitative guy but may be he does a lot of work before he sells than those who picks them
k no
you have got it wrong, the middle men are not the one who gains a lot the profit, the transportation fees and the danger they carry will not leave them with much of the profit. The people who make the most out of them is the ones who buy them abroad and make it into medicines which is sold for thousands of dollars.
Beautiful video, horrid click bait title
Actually it uses to enhance sex performance
Love Tibet, Bhutan and Nepal from India
Thnak you BBC for making such a wonderful video featuring Nepal 💕
hello #BBC , i was wondering why was that nepali woman speaking hindi in poor accent evenlthough she has her own langauge and i checked video description , it didnt surprise me knowing the reporters name. so, i request you to plz help support our own language, we have right to speak n promote our own language , plz respect and support this right. i hope we wont see this kind of videos next time . thanks. #supporturownlanguage
What about the first guy he was speaking nepali
Aashish Pakhrin yes sir, i noticed that too....
James Kam yes, thts my point, these reporters couldnt make him speak hindi but made tht naive,innocent woman to speak hindi.
Bcz the had the video been made in Nepali, the video could be 1/20 watched.

Blue pill or fungus hmm

thank youu bbc for this newss!
जय नेपाल जय नेपाल जय नेपाल।
Definitely a job with its ups and downs
Martin C. i expect it to grow larger
definitely hard times.
Oh my god I didn't knw that!. We have a lot of yarsagumba in kilimanjaro Tanzania.
bbc 's indian producer/programmer tricked a Nepali to speak [unintelligible] hindi making video meaningless to watch.
open source it's good thing they can speak languages from different countries. Why do you think Nepalis get job India? It's because most them knows hindi and they are hard working people.
first of,i am not against any language or person speaking other languages other than their own primary language. I raised the issue here because the lady was speaking very poor hindi which made the story/video less informative, had she used Nepali,her first language like the guy who spoke in clear Nepali, her story would have been much clearer to viewer.
secondly most of the nepalis understand hindi and are honest hard working people but your question here gives me the impression that this story/video was done in India, which was not.
gangster gastino Why?
BBC reporter chor
They a tibetans,Tibet is a independent country,free Tibet!!
she has awesome voice
Not Yarsagumba, it called Yartsa Gyunbu which says Tibetan, meaning in summer (Yar) it's grass (tsa) but during winter (Gyun) it's insect (bu). Discovered by Tibetan physician which helps to cured many disease. It also used in Tibetan herbal medicine, center in dharamshala.
It's called Yarsagumba in Nepali.
Tibetans introduced these medicinal fungus thousand years ago that's why the name given Yartsagunbhu. Yartsa means summer grass and gunbhu means winter insect.
Just tie someone to the ground and you'll get one big Yarsagumba. 🤑🤑🤑
Her sound is Beautiful
Hey #BBC why you told them to speak Hindi, we have our own lanaguage, why don't you just say them to speak in Nepali.
Santosh Khatri just to trigger you. Because Nepal is part of india
head hunter Nepal was never a part of India. India was once rulled by British for 100s of years wow. Nepal was never rulled or never was anyone's part.
head hunter when china/pakistan tried to take away the land you claim is yours and tried to change culture,religion and language of tht place , didnt you raise your voice against them ? its same scenerio here...if u r true indian u will underatand n respect another true nepali
Santosh Khatri good question bro , exactly i was wondering why would a nepali woman who cant speak proper hindi trying to speak as hard as she can eventhough she has her own language and then i checked the video descriotion ......., it didnt surprise me. support your own language and let us speak our own
Please read the description. Video has been shot and edited by an Indian. That's why she spoke hindi..!!
thank you bbc ! love my Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Why is the woman speaking in Hindi instead of Nepali
because Nepalese leaders sold out Nepal to india...shame on us Nepali...aajai kk bokna baki xa dajuvai haru...ris ta uthi rako xani
Isn't that cordyceps ???
Cody Lim yes scientific name is Cordyceps.
I love his name.......
Bahat sundar jaga he
Of course BBC news would report this
I pray that these people will get fairly compensated. Retail prices for the yarsagumba is 100X+ more than what these poor people are getting it for. God bless them all.
Very nice
Good
Beautiful
This is illegal in Nepal..
Everyone see this video but no one .. understands this medicine plants is elixir of life....
Please tell me different

冬虫夏草！Yeah they can get pretty expensive, we bought a bunch from Tibet once. Didn't really notice any difference in health after consuming it.

Can anyone tell me that the title of background music in the beginning. It's so heart touching music.

I've think I just found my new calling in life..... Himalayas here I come!!!
No everyone will take
Yashagumba...Which is expensive than Gold.
Its mentioned un saskrit. All that is akhanda bharath before.its mentioned in pantanjali yoga book written 2000yrs ago. Word himalaya is sanskrit word
«Гималайское золото» 🙏
For people thinking of going to this place to search for Yarsagumba, it is illegal for anyone outside of this place to search for them. Even people from Nepal who dont live in this place.
Can i use this video?
Why not taking the plant and replant it somewhere easy to harvest than to risk going up there?????
Why don't they spread the insects in the mountains and come back a year later.
Nepal
what is this ? and for what ?
It's sad that a poor indigenous people are not the one who get benefits from it.
I just lost it looking at the title ×D
why is she speaking hindi ?
I say buy caterpillars cheap and let them free there to harvest later
SamSays its not that simple, theres a parasite & stuff involved
冬虫夏草，I only eat the grassy part.
Cool. They're like living in a frostpunk, searching for hope and stuffs
I never knew!!!
It's called keeda Jadi in INDIA .
When I was doing Roopkund trek during 2015 my guide was searching for this like nothing.
This fungus is paar kg 20 lakh rupee in India
$1000 -$15000 per kgs.
depending on the quality :)
It's ashwagandha. Very vital medicine in Ayurveda. It has many uses, even gym goers use it.
Nope. Bro.. Ashwagandha is a plant.. Keeda jadi is a fungus

Fungus wins. It's natural and much stronger .
Why arnt there millionares yet?
Next time you make a video about any particular place .... try to hire the person who knows the language and about the society...this way people will open up more which will help in providing the video a much deeper context.....just saying.....most of us know what the possible risks are at that height......it should be about what they as a society are enduring due to this business and if it's worth it to give it a try...and what the fuck is up with that title?...LOL "Himalayan Viagra" ?
Looks like ima go catch me some fungus

What's "Himalayan Viagra" ??? it's yashagumba! Stop making up your own name.
Hello BBC, since when Nepali Sherpa started to communicate in Hindi Language? First, usually they speak their own language, second Nepali, third English then only ‘maybe’ Hindi. BBC journalism is so biased and politically motivated.
so what is she speak hindi?
Arka Biswas because they asked in hindhi
Ho ho ho a kilo for 100K? I'll start living there for that
It's very true that these days people were killed each other because of over harvesting of this fungus
Cordycepts
Why are they speaking on hindi are they Indian?
Laxmidhar Gautam lot's of language are derived from hindi or they are derived from sanskrit from where hindi is derived plus all the india subcontinent speaks hindi majority of them atleast even the Pakistani
lalit Sharma Nepali speaks Nepali language untill and unless it is required to speak Hindi but I think it is deliberately motivated them to speak Hindi may be by documentary making team. Hindi language may be dominant on most parts of South Asia but not on Nepal not even on Terai region of Nepal though mostly Nepali people can understand and speak somehow Hindi language. Generally we speak Hindi here at Nepal if we get to know other is Indian or the only language both can understand is Hindi. The one who is facing interview is neither Indian nor her mother tounge Hindi. So it is not natural choice of language on conversation. Hope this will not give misinformation to world that people at Himalayas of Nepal can speak and understand Hindi proficiently it may bring trouble mainly to Indian visitors because sometimes we can face situation even with the people who can not communicate properly on Nepali language too. It is not my objection on language used but a surprise. And I dont believe on forced dominance and also don't respect pride of dominance but do respect natural dominance.
Laxmidhar Gautam How about if the interviewer only know hindi and english? Why do you expect a nepali did this interview? Should she have asked her to speak in nepali, then find someone who speaks both good nepali and good english to put it in front of an international audience and around 1 billion hindi understanding Indians? Does not seem like a good business idea.
an Indian That doesn't mean that people should be forced to speak a language that they aren't good at . The producer team totally forced her to speak in Hindi , of that first dude spoke in nepali and they were able to translate it to English why not the same? They are just stupid . If Indians do wanna watch this show then the channel can just translate it to Hindi for them.
Netprogamer /GOD/ lol why would Indians want to hear a translation when they can hear directly from her? India is a bigger market and so they would accede to the demand to increase their profits. I dont think she was forced to speak. They could have found, quite easily, others who speak hindi.
Why do you assume the circumstamces remained the same in both the interviews? Why are you assuming both interviews occured around the same locality around the same time? There are far too many assumptions. Considering its really hilly area, I doubt they could find good english speakers. I knew that there were not the world's best colleges in Nepal, but I am disappointed.
Wtf was she speaking hindi?

Has there been any scientific research done on this? Is there any reason to believe this works. I wouldn't want to take away the livelihood from these people. There will always be men desperate enough to try anything, like the horns and tusks of animals. The latter have been proven to have no medicinal value at all. But there are fungi that do have effects.
Shirley pilger
Yes, they can improve your immune system, you should try that sometime. Learn how to prepare it then you will know.
Shirley pilger Psilocybin magic mushrooms would similarly enhance perceived attractiveness of their partners and release endorphins! Europeans go looking for on grazed hillsides in a similar fashion
“Works” on what?!? Increasing libido?
Anyways, I found a paper endorsed by a medical-governmental front of Uncle Sam. Cool enough? ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3924981
*Disclaimer:* This is neither a disparagement (predictable-exhibition on 'pop-Interweb') nor even endorsement of its efficacy.
Shirley pilger all modern medicine and drugs are extracted from herbs you moron. Of course it’ll work. Only problem is that you can’t patent herbs in their natural form so no business in treating people with herbs.
I bet they only got paid $1 a gram!
