Chapter I Shey
The sacred heart of inner Dolpo
Shey Gompa — a revered monastery near eight centuries old, sitting at around 4,200 metres beneath Crystal Mountain, within Shey Phoksundo National Park. This is one of the most remote pilgrimage landscapes in the Himalaya, home to Phoksundo Lake, the deepest in Nepal. It is from this country — high, quiet, untouched — that our name is drawn.
Chapter II Dolpo
Nepal's largest, emptiest district
Dolpa spans nearly 7,900 square kilometres — over five percent of the country — yet only some 43,000 people live across it. A trans-Himalayan rain-shadow land, ringed by the Dhaulagiri and Kanjiroba ranges, where mountains are revered and rivers held sacred. For most of its history it was reachable only on foot or by flight.
Chapter III Dunai
The gateway where it is found
Dunai is the district headquarters of Dolpa, set on the Thuli Bheri River at around 2,000 metres — the gateway linking Upper and Lower Dolpo. The resin forms higher, on the cliffs above the valley; we collect it and purify it here in Dunai, where it is found. This is where we are registered, and where the work is done.
Chapter IV The Wedge
Finished here. Never shipped out raw.
Nepal exports most of its shilajit as raw material, to be purified and branded elsewhere. We do the opposite. We are physically registered in Dunai and purify in Dolpo, sending finished resin to the world — with the lab report on every batch. Competitors claim Dolpa sourcing. We can show it.
Sourced from the heights of Shey, collected and purified in Dunai where it is found — then sent to the world as finished resin, never raw. With the lab report on every batch.
