Shilajit Source Map: India, Nepal & The Himalayas

Shilajit is not made — it is discovered. This sacred resin is found high in the Himalayan mountain ranges, formed over centuries through pressure, decomposition, and mineralization of plant matter. Below is a breakdown of the most respected source regions and how they influence the quality and potency of shilajit.

🗺️ Interactive Source Map

Use the interactive map above to explore sourcing regions like Dolpa (Nepal), Kullu Valley (India), Kedarnath, Mustang, and more.

🧭 Himalayan Belt: The Sacred Zone

The best-quality shilajit is found at elevations above 10,000 feet. This mineral resin seeps out of rocks in the summer months and is traditionally hand-collected by highland villagers and Ayurvedic practitioners.

• Altitude: 10,000–16,000 feet (3,000–4,800 m)
• Collection Season: May to October

🇮🇳 Shilajit in India

• Uttarakhand: Particularly around Kedarnath, Badrinath, and the Gangotri Glacier zone.
• Himachal Pradesh: Notably the Kullu, Spiti, and Kinnaur valleys — known for purity and altitude.
• Kashmir: Himalayan fringes of Kashmir yield resin with strong mineral complexity and density.

🇳🇵 Shilajit in Nepal

• Dolpa Region: High-altitude, remote, and revered in classical texts — often considered the gold standard.
• Mustang & Manang: Found in cliffs and crevices above 12,000 feet, traditionally gathered by local tribes.
• Mount Api & Saipal: Pristine Himalayan reserves in the far west of Nepal.

🔍 Why Region Matters

The altitude, geology, and microbial environment shape the nutrient profile of shilajit. Higher elevations mean fewer pollutants, more concentrated fulvic/humic compounds, and slower maturation cycles.

🧭 How We Source

Our shilajit is ethically and sustainably sourced from a blend of high-altitude zones in the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas, lab-tested for purity and verified for geographic origin.
