Hindu Kush Strain

Hindu Kush is a classic indica strain treasured for its subtle yet sweet sandalwood aroma and deeply relaxing effects. Its dense buds feature forest green leaves, burnt orange pistils, and a thick coating of frosty trichomes—a trait that hash makers especially value.

While it gained prominence in California, Hindu Kush is a true landrace strain, originating from the rugged mountain range between Pakistan and Afghanistan. These harsh natural conditions helped shape the strain’s resilience and its signature trichome-rich structure.
