Baglung Nepalese

Baglung Nepalese is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the Baglung region of central-western Nepal, situated between 1,000 and 2,000 meters elevation in the mid-Himalayas. This hardy, genetically stable cannabis variety evolved over generations through natural selection and centuries of local cultivation in harsh mountainous conditions characterized by terraced mountain slopes, strong monsoon winds, and cool nights. The strain was traditionally used in the production of hand-rolled charas and has been a cultural center of traditional Nepali cannabis use for centuries. The original line was documented in the early 2000s by the Swiss breeding group Blue Hemp, who adapted it to northern climates through careful cultivation under controlled conditions in the Alpine region. The strain was later preserved and reproduced by various collectives including Derg Corra Collective (through Bald Monkey in Denmark) and further developed by Magic Herbs over five generations of outdoor cultivation at 48.5°N latitude. Modern versions are maintained through careful selection and controlled backcrossing to preserve genetic integrity while enhancing adaptation to European growing conditions.
