About Nepali
Nepali cannabis grows wild across the Himalayan foothills and has been cultivated for generations by local farmers for charas production. The plants are a unique intermediate type — not fully indica like their Afghan neighbors, nor fully sativa like tropical varieties — adapted to the high-altitude, temperate climate of Nepal. Nepali charas (hand-rubbed hashish) was world-famous and a primary destination goal for Hippie Trail travelers. The effects are known for being meditative, clear-headed, and gently euphoric, reflecting centuries of selection for hashish production rather than flowering potency. Nepali genetics were carried back to the West by travelers and are represented in several early hybrid lines.
