Gohar is a hamlet on the slopes above Kasol in the Parvati Valley, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India. One accession carries Gohar as its locality, and the hamlet gives its name to an appellation.

Geography

Gohar lies about 3 km north-north-west of Kasol and about 2 km east-north-east of Rasol, at about 2,380 m. The accession's field, Parla Thatch, is recorded about 1.1 km to the north-west, at 2,976 m. The collection documentation of the Zomia Collective counts Parla Thatch among the fields of Rasol and describes it as the highest of them, "sitting at 3200m and extending into the upper Parvati Valley toward Choj".[1]

Cannabis cultivation

Main article: Gohar (appellation)

Photographs posted by the Kullu police in June 2011, in a series on a cannabis destruction campaign, include one captioned "Cannabis fields near village Gohar, Manikaran".[2] The Zomia Collective's index of growing regions lists Gohar Village under the Parvati Valley without a tag, which under the index's legend means it was directly documented or accessed.[3]

The accession is a selection made in 2022 under the expedition code HIMA01 in the Parla Thatch field; the documentation, which names it after Rasol, says it was collected "from the highest-altitude fields in the area".[1]
