Anyone ever been to India or Nepal to sample local produce?
After i spent about 3 month in Australia in the end of 2003 i got some money to go on a mission in Nepal.
Did you know hash was legal in Nepal until early 70s or so when the American govt PAID Nepal govt to basically make it illegal?
Good stuff... anyway, after few days in the Kathmandu, i headed north up thro Trisuli, up to Dunche. I had a friend on Overgrow, and he had friend who lived in Trisuli, so i spent a night there with his friend doing research and gathering available data on what is going on further up north where the mountains are.
(Did you know why good hash comes from the mountains? Hehe, because high altitude means higher exposure to UV rays which means you get richer resin production and therefore better hashish!)
So Trisuli hook up told me everything i needed to know. I headed up to Dunche which is the last civilised town with population of several hundred up north. There i had to pay national park entrance fees. And from there i proceeded on foot. Spent a night there, stocked up with oranges, chocolate, bottle of Green Label (which i saved for mountains - its freezing up there!!), digestive biscuits and a warm wool hat which i got as a present from one party who were returning from their voyage and going back the way i came.
So i got it all in my back pack, took a sip of green label whisky and headed along the dirt road. It takes about 8 hours of walking and climbing up the mountains to reach from Dunche to the first guest house so it was a long walk, if you ever go there make sure you take lots of snacks and whisky, you will feel million dollars after snacking on it when you climb half way. The views were astonishing, i spent the night at a guest house and continued journey up thro Langtang National Park in the morning.
I reached the foot hills of the main Langtang mountain region at the end of second day, and i climbed about 3000 feet, along the way i saw a lot of Cacti that looked a lot like san pedro... I also saw huge packs of mountain guerrillas!! I had my binoculars with me that was class, looking out and checking out surrounding mountains for HASH PLANTATIONS and spotting packs of beautiful guerrillas along the way
If only i could find out the name of those mountain guerrillas, i would find a pick of them too. Any zoo-ologists in the house??
Every local kid i met along the way wanted to have a look thro my binoculars. Men wanted to have a smoke with me, met one guy while going up the mountain he had a house build over a mountain stream. That was pretty cool, had a nice smoking session with him, even tho he didnt speak word of english. That day i climbed up a lot and found a small village with a guest house on the top of the mountain, where i spent the night and located my hook up.
The view from that village was intense! It was sunset and OMG!! If only i had a camera with me, it could have been amazing shot to capture... Had a 3 course meal at the guest house, noodle soup and some kind of meat pie and Tibetan bread, ate it on a veranda and watched the sunset.
Not bad, not bad at all, the following day ate my breakfast on the same veranda and met couple friends of my hook up and guide for the next 5 days. His friends sold me couple of TEMPLE BALLS for a tenner!! That stuff is amazing, you not even getting shit like that in Amsterdam these days, no, not the temple balls. Those temple balls, he said, came from a "Hash factory" where my hook up promised to take me
I rolled a nice long joint after breakfast and smoked it on the veranda! Temple balls TASTE SO SWEET. It almost reminds me a little of Moroccan hash, that it was MINTY, yet it was so subtle and delicate that i wanted to eat the roach after i smoked it!!!!! And the high of that stuff.... i had what we call Weed-gasm!!! After i smoked the joint i headed out with my guide towards Tibetan border! The high lasted for about 3 - 4 hours and i could still taste the aroma in my mouth.
We walked all day and by night fall we were pass the Nepal’s border and were alsmot in Tibet - China!
That evening i was brought to a small house, in the middle of nowhere, there we spent the night and cooked some food, and smoked some more temple balls. In the morning i woke up to a sound of voices, there were 3 army clad Nepalese guys standing next to my bed and eye-ing me suspiciously!!!!!! It was the employees of the so called hash factory and they were here to take me and my hook up further into wilderness!!!!!! Holly shit i though, this is gold!!! I finally made it.
That day they took me up the mountains that did not have any roads or patches on the ground that resembled a path way, we climbed on the other side of the mountains and about 3 or 4 hours later i was in a smallish village where all the action is!
Well, 3 guys didnt show me around , where the plantation was or anything but we sat down, made some tea and talked a little after that i bought a reasonable ammount of temple balls and some other darker hash.
When i came back to Kathmandu i headed west to Pokhara. There i spent a month chilling out by the lake. Pimping hippie chicks, giving away gifts of hash, telling stories about my hash adventures by the fire at night, it was class, i was the king
