Just back from a seed hunting expedition in The Himalayas. Such an amazing place to spend some time. We came across many flavours and varieties of both farmed and wild cannabis and here are some of the photos from our trip.
We landed in Delhi and took a connecting flight to the mountains to begin our search. Hope you all enjoy....I definitely did.

Everyone needs to relax a little before a big climb. This will certainly help things along..

On the way up to the grow areas. This path was covered in wild jungli sativas of various height. Most above 10 feet high. You smell them before ya see them. Beautiful aromas and colours.

Most plants anywhere near to a path had already been rubbed by the locals for the jungli cream. These few look well decimated already.

It took us around 6 hours of trekking to reach the first cultivated fields. These plants were Sativa Indica hybrids but they grew to huge heights. Most above 12/13 foot tall and all top heavy with dense sticky colas. Most of the lower branching here had been already removed from the plants. We drank chai and chilled out with the local villagers as they made cream. Everyone in the family was making it, from the kids to the grandparents. Now that's family.

Here are the hands of a hard working lady. This woman was an expert in the art of cream making.

Hey saibai, we got seeds from most of the different areas we travelled. We also collected seeds from some very fruity and resinous sativas when we found tasty ones. Alot of the seeds we collected from different cultivated cream fields. Mostly from indica/sativa hybrids that produce dense sticky and large resinous colas. lots of variation in colour, size, flavour, smells, structure and bud density. Can't wait to try some out lad....

This was an amazing place to catch our breath on the way up. Being surrounded by pristine nature is always a pleasure and a blessing.
