Lineage: Landrace strain originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range (Afghanistan/Pakistan border region)
Hindu Kush rolls in with a dense, earthy aroma layered with sweet sandalwood and a faint hash-like spice — classic old-world indica character. Effects settle in slowly as a heavy full-body calm that loosens tension from head to toe, making it a go-to for unwinding after a long day or easing into sleep. As one of the oldest landrace indicas on record, it's also the genetic backbone behind some of today's most iconic strains, including OG Kush.
