Every spring, in a remote part of Nepal, tens of thousands of villagers leave their dwellings for a dangerous trek to the Himalayas, in order to collect Yarsagumbu, a caterpillar fungus. This peculiar hybrid between plant and insect is being sold in China up to $60 000 per kilo (or 2.2 lbs), because of its medical wonders worth more than its weight in gold.
From the snow-capped summits of the Himalayas to luxurious penthouses in Hong Kong, from the hands of poor Nepalese to those of the wealthiest Chinese consumers, experience the Himalayan Organic Gold Rush.
