Urgam Valley
Also known as: Urgam Valley Landrace
Urgam Valley Strain Overview
Urgam Valley is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from a collection of villages and valleys in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, approximately 100 kilometers from the Indian-Tibetan border. This high-altitude strain grows naturally at elevations ranging from 2,200 to 2,700 meters in regions with cool summers and cold, snowy winters. The strain is cultivated in remote villages including Devgram, Basa, Kalgot, and Dumak, where cannabis grows alongside amaranth and is allowed to self-seed year after year, maintaining its pure genetic heritage.
The plants exhibit typical highland characteristics, growing moderately tall (10-14 feet) with extensive side branching and narrow leaflets. Unlike lowland hemp varieties from the region, Urgam Valley plants show less stalky appearance and develop unique fox-tailed bud structures with vibrant colors rather than dense, compact buds. The strain displays remarkable intra-population diversity despite consistent climatic conditions, reflecting its natural landrace evolution. This ancient variety represents traditional Himalayan cannabis genetics that have been naturally selected over centuries in the harsh mountain environment.
