Raji: The Honey Hunters
Deep in the foothills of the Himalayas, a group of nomadic honey hunters known as the Raji continue an ancient, perilous tradition of harvesting wild honey from the towering trees of the Terai forest. As their ancestral way of life faces the encroaching pressures of the modern world, the Raji must navigate a delicate balance between their deep spiritual connection to the forest and the practical demands of survival. Through the lens of photographer Eric Valli, this story captures the profound resilience of a community that has lived in harmony with nature for generations, even as their world begins to shift around them.
