Pachhu Gunth lies 52 km from Munsyari, the tehsil headquarters, and 163 km from Pithoragarh, the district headquarters. The village covers 197 ha.[1] OpenStreetMap places the village about 3.5 km south of Milam. Martoli belongs to the gram panchayat of Pachhu.[1]

People

Of the 23 people counted in 2011, 15 were men and 8 women. Of them, 4 belonged to Scheduled Castes and 19 to Scheduled Tribes.[1]

Cannabis

Both accessions were collected on 27 September 2025 on the UTT01 expedition: a landrace general population from the 2024 harvest and a feral selection from the 2025 harvest. They describe a population that reproduces by itself, kept from locally grown flower, growing in monoculture, intercropped and as semi-feral stands, sown in May and June and harvested from September to November.
