Ethical & Sustainable Sourcing: The Heart of Rakaposhi Organics

At Rakaposhi Organics, our shilajit is more than a product—it’s a promise to honor the Himalayas and the communities that call it home. Sourced from the pristine peaks of Gilgit-Baltistan, our Himalayan Shilajit is gathered with deep respect for the land and its people, using ethical and sustainable practices rooted in tradition. By choosing Rakaposhi Organics, you’re supporting a legacy of fairness, environmental stewardship, and empowered futures, inspiring you to Live Beautiful through Himalayan Wisdom.

Sourcing with Integrity

Our shilajit comes from the rugged, unspoiled mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, including iconic regions like K2 and Siachen. We partner with local harvesters—skilled mountaineers and herders—who carry generations of knowledge about the land. Their expertise guides us to collect shilajit sustainably, ensuring we take only what the mountains offer naturally.

Sustainable Harvesting: Our harvesters carefully gather shilajit from high-altitude rocks (3,000–6,500 meters) during the summer months when it naturally seeps out. We limit collection to small batches to avoid overharvesting, preserving the delicate Himalayan ecosystem.
Traditional Wisdom: We honor the time-tested methods of local communities, who have harvested shilajit for centuries to support vitality and resilience. This respect ensures authenticity and sustainability.
Minimal Impact: By working on foot and using hand-collection techniques, we minimize environmental disruption, keeping the mountains pristine for future generations.

Fair Trade & Community Empowerment

We believe ethical sourcing means uplifting the people behind the product. Our partnerships with Gilgit-Baltistan’s communities—Balti, Shina, and Wakhi—are built on fair trade principles:

Fair Wages: We provide competitive compensation to our harvesters, supporting their livelihoods and valuing their expertise.
Community Support: By working directly with local families, we strengthen rural economies, fostering independence and pride in their cultural heritage.
Cultural Preservation: Our collaboration celebrates the traditions of Himalayan healers, ensuring their knowledge of shilajit endures.

Protecting the Himalayan Ecosystem

The Himalayas are a sacred and fragile environment, and we’re committed to preserving their beauty. Our sustainable practices include:

Eco-Conscious Harvesting: We avoid heavy machinery or invasive methods, relying on manual collection to protect the land.
Purity Assurance: Every batch of shilajit is lab-tested to ensure it’s free of contaminants and heavy metals, reflecting the untouched purity of Gilgit-Baltistan’s mountains.
Low Carbon Footprint: Our small-scale, handcrafted approach minimizes energy use, aligning with our environmental ethos.
