This photo shows a rural house in the mid-hills of Nepal, representative of the villages where many of the collectors and farmers live.

Collectors often travel through nearby forests and high-altitude areas to harvest plants such as Wintergreen, Spikenard, Artemisia, and Sugandha Kokila, following seasonal cycles and traditional knowledge to ensure the plants can regenerate. Farmers and collectors work closely with their families, and the work is shared across household members, with women often playing a key role in harvesting and processing.

Villages in the mid-hills are typically small and spread across steep and rugged terrain. Daily life involves balancing household responsibilities, tending to crops, and collecting plants from surrounding forests. The methods used for collection are practical and based on generations of local experience, designed to maintain the health of the ecosystem and the quality of the plant material.

These households form the backbone of the local aromatic plant sector, with their knowledge, routines, and practices directly supporting the supply of high-altitude medicinal and aromatic plants in Nepal.

This video offers a glimpse into the daily lives of our women collector in the mid-hills of Nepal, as they carry 𝑑𝑜𝑘𝑜 full of freshly harvested Wintergreen leaves through the lush, rugged terrain. Each basket represents hours of careful work, knowledge passed down through generations, and a deep respect for nature.
Wintergreen thrives at high altitudes, and harvesting it is not simply about collection-it is an art that balances sustainable practices, plant regeneration, and environmental stewardship. The women carefully select mature leaves, leaving younger plants intact, ensuring the forest ecosystem remains healthy and productive for years to come.
Beyond the physical effort, this practice supports rural livelihoods, empowering women and communities through fair work and shared knowledge. The harvested leaves are then processed into high-quality essential oils, known for their purity, therapeutic properties, and unique Himalayan characteristics.
At Annapurna Aroma, we are proud to work hand-in-hand with these communities, promoting ethical sourcing, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable aromatic practices. Every step, every leaf, and every basket tells the story of resilience, dedication, and the deep bond between people and the Himalayan landscape.

The Himalayan Silver Fir is one of the most important high-altitude tree species of Nepal, found between 2,500-4,000 meters. These forests are not only vital for maintaining the ecological balance of the fragile Himalayan ecosystem but also support local communities with sustainable resources.

Traditionally, harvesting Silver Fir involved cutting branches or even trees, which led to deforestation and habitat loss. To prevent this, Annapurna Aroma Company, in collaboration with Community Forest User Groups, has introduced needle-only harvesting practices. This method allows the extraction of essential oils without harming the tree, while simultaneously improving forest density and regeneration.

The practice provides alternative income opportunities for local communities, reducing pressure on other threatened species like Jatamasi (Spikenard), Juniper, and Rhododendron Anthopogon.

The harvested needles are distilled into a high-quality essential oil known for its fresh, pine-like aroma and therapeutic properties, while the leftover biomass is reused for incense, organic fertilizer, and natural pest repellents - ensuring zero waste production.

Through this model, Himalayan Silver Fir forests are not only preserved but also contribute directly to rural livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development in Nepal.

In this video, our local collectors are harvesting Spikenard (𝘕𝑎𝘳𝑑𝘰𝑠𝘵𝑎𝘤ℎ𝘺𝑠 𝑔𝘳𝑎𝘯𝑑𝘪𝑓𝘭𝑜𝘳𝑎), a rare medicinal and aromatic plant that grows only at high altitudes of 3,000-5,000 meters in the Himalayas. The plant is known worldwide for its essential oil, which carries a warm, earthy, calming aroma and is valued in both traditional medicine and modern aromatherapy.

Spikenard thrives in the cool, mist-covered slopes of Nepal, where biodiversity is rich but fragile. Harvesting is not easy - collectors must hike for hours through steep terrain, often in cold and foggy weather, to carefully dig up the roots without damaging the surrounding ecosystem.

The real backbone of this work is the farmers and collectors. Most come from mountain communities where generations have passed down knowledge of when and how to collect Spikenard responsibly. For them, this isn’t just a source of income - it’s a cultural tradition deeply tied to the land.

At Annapurna Aroma Company, we partner directly with these communities to support wildcrafted collection with sustainable practices. By training farmers in proper harvesting cycles, ensuring fair compensation, and investing back into the villages, we aim to make sure that both the plant populations and the people depending on them can thrive for the long term.

टिमुर एउटा नेपालको मध्य पहाडी जँगलमा पाइने जडिबुटी हो। यसको तिखो र अमिलो खाल्को सुगन्ध हुन्छ र स्वाद भने टर्रो (परपराउने) हुन्छ। श्रावण देखी कार्तिक सम्म संकलन गरेपछि टिमुरलाई महिलाहरुले हातैले छान्दछन्। यसलाई घाममा सुकाइन्छ र सुकेको टिमुरबाट ढुसी, डाँठ, धुलो, र बिग्रेका दाना हटाइनछ जसले यसको गुणर्स्तर सुनिस्चित गर्न सकिन्छ।
टिमुरलाइ मसलाको रुपमा मात्र नभइ सुगन्धित तेल उत्पादनका लागी पनि प्रयोग गरीन्छ। यसबाट निकालिएको तेलमा टिमुर झैँ बासना हुन्छ। टिमुरमा antibacterial र anti-inflammatory गुण हुन्छ। यो औषधी, Perfume र Aromatherapy को लागी प्रयोग गरीइन्छ।

करी पत्ता (𝑀𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑦𝑎 𝑘𝑜𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑖) दक्षिण एशियामा पाइने विभिन्न वनस्पतिहरुमध्ये एक हो, जुन नेपालको भित्री तराई तथा उपत्यका जस्ता गर्मीहुने ठाउँहरूमा प्राकृतिक रूपमा पाइन्छ। नेपालको सन्दर्भमा असार देखि मंसिर सम्मको महिनालाई करी पत्ता संकलन गर्ने उपयुक्त समय मानिन्छ।

४ देखि ६ मिटर सम्मको हुने यो बिरुवामा साना सेता रङका फूलहरू फुल्दछ र ती फुल परिपक्व हुदासम्म कालो रङको सानो दाना (फल) बन्छद। यसको पात तथा फल मिठो सुगन्धले भरिपुर्ण हुन्छ, जसलाई परलपूर्व देखी खाना, तेल र औषधिको रुपमा प्रयोग गरिदै आएको पाईन्छ।

यो तस्वीरले हामीले दिगो सङ्कलनका मापदण्ड अपनाई करी पत्ता सङ्कलन गरिरहेको कुरालाई दर्शाउछँ। दिगो सङ्कलनलाई ध्यानमा राखि हामीले सधैँ राम्रोसगँ बढेका परिपक्व पातहरु मात्र सङ्कलन गर्ने गदर्छौं ताकी सोही बिरुवामा अन्य पातहरु समेत पुनः पलाउन सकोस। सङ्कलनपछि यी पातहरूको प्रयोग गरी बाफको माध्यामबाट पकाएर सुगन्धित तेल (Essential oil) उत्पादन गरिन्छ। यो तेल केवल सुगन्धित मात्र नभइ, शरीरलाई फुर्तिलो तथा बलियो बनाउने, पाचन प्रणालीमा सुधार ल्याउने र मनलाई ताजा बनाउने गुणले पनि भरिपुर्ण हुने गर्दछ।
