Nepalese and North Indian

I just read a National Geographic article titled, "See Inside the Himalayan Villages That Grow Cannabis." By Maria Tavernini
Photographs by Andrea de Franciscis
PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 1, 2016

I Can't get the link to work but very interesting read.

Because cannabis is a native plant, it can be difficult for police to trace producers, who keep moving their fields higher to escape raids. Thousands of families in the region survive on charas production. Farmers sell the resin to foreigners, but also to Indians from big cities. Demand is rising; new guesthouses and venues for smoking charas sprout every season.

Though the drug trade is intricate and advanced, time almost stands still in this part of the mountains. Life follows the rhythms of nature. The villages scattered on the Himalayan slopes are made up of colorful houses with dark roofs made of thin stone slabs. There’s one central tap for water, an old temple, and a few shops that sell soap, cigarettes, legumes, rice, and flour.

I've never grown a true landrace but I do have a North Indian hybrid from Flash seeds - Dr. Shiva.
We're getting the fall rains now and nights are cooling down. I should be able to harvest something soon.

10 years after the collection....bodhi's nepalese from mileche still kicking, in those years i explored the line pretty well and found one pheno that have probably the best effect i ever experienced, medium potency, very whispy buds, but very resinous and puts you to dance and sing with a few tokes, pure joy in weed form. Not sweet or fruity, a bit woody, very hashy with notes of carrot and vitamin b12 smell.
The line have also potent and nice lemony,floral, a bit of meat and musty and earthy plants, but the effect are not as clean and positive as the hashy terpene profile...wich is a bit difficult to find as the line have lots of variation

I just finished reading this thread. I enjoyed it very much! I will have at least two Highland Nepalese from RSC going this coming season. I'm at 49N on Canadian border in North Dakota.
I will post a few pictures here during the summer. Merry Christmas to you all.

I have just received some seeds from a colleague, seeds collected in Nagarkot, bahktapur, Nepal, extracted from ganjah (I didn't know that in Nepal they smoked ganjah, I thought it was a hashish place).
Very small dark seeds, very dark, with some strains...

hashish is grown in the mountains

ganja is grown on the Terai (lowlands)

here and there in the mountains, there's sometimes ganja

Willy, I hope you'll show off those nepali bagseeds when you get around to them. There aren't many nepali lines in circulation that were collected at the source these days. Seems like most of what you see around are the baglung and RSC lines, which have both been reproduced away from Nepal for at least a few generations. I'd be really interested to see yours.

...nope...

the current Nepalese offered by The Real Seed Company is direct from Nepal

specifically, it's from Rolpa

that's where the classic old-school Nepalese Temple Ball charas came from in the 60s and 70s

all this info is provided transparently at the website in the strain descriptions
