A small town in the obscure region of Parvati Valley in Himachal Pradesh Kullu district, Rashol is a home to around 1500 people and large cannabis farms. Most of the people are either traditional shepherds or herb hunters, and belong to the upper caste Hindu. Their first encounter with lower altitude people happened in early 70s when disillusioned Europeans in search of Nirvana and radicalism came to Himalayan regions and smoked some mind altering cannabis buds.
