The '''Central Himalayas''' is a highland cultivation region in western [[Nepal]], spanning steep river valleys and montane landscapes between the mid-hills and high Himalaya. Cannabis persists here in dispersed village-scale agriculture and remote upland settlements, shaped by elevation gradients, seasonal mobility, and localized selection.
