A Nepali landrace collected in Barpak, roughly 50 km north of the town of Gorkha.

Expect large plants of the ‘Himalayan multipurpose’ type, similar to our accession named Kumaoni.

These domesticates are cultivated for culinary seed, fibre, and charas.

Gorkha derives its name from Goraknath, a siddha (accomplished yogi) found in both Hindu and Tantric Buddhist traditions, and most closely associated with the Nath lineages.

Folk traditions throughout South Asia attribute a love of cannabis to Goraknath.
