Page scope
Tosh is the Locality page for the village at the head of the road in the upper Parvati Valley that gives its name to seven accessions. The fields above it are Tosh-Kutla; the cannabis-terroir unit named after the village is Tosh (appellation). The 2011 census does not enumerate the village separately.

Coordinates and elevation
- The infobox point, 32.0144, 77.4519, is the OpenStreetMap node for the village (node 3154313635, place=village). SRTM gives 2,450 m there.
- The 2022 accessions store 32.015861, 77.451916 at 2,535 m (SRTM 2,511 m at that point); the upper-fields selection stores 2,639 m; the two 2025 accessions store 2,400 m. The infobox range 2,400–2,639 m spans these values.
- The collection documentation gives "2400-3000m" for its village lots and 3,000–3,500 m for the upper fields, above the stored values.
- The Coco Genes accession (COC-IND-HIM-0120210002) stores an elevation of 2000, from its seller's "above 2000m"; it is not used for the range.
Source notes
- The collection documentation's summary block reads "Appellation : Rasol" and "District : Sosan". The six Zomia accession pages give the appellation as Tosh and the tehsil as Bhuntar; the article follows the accession pages. Sosan is a census village lower in the valley, not a district.
- The documentation's "Village(s) : Tosh, Tosh-Kutla" covers both places; its Kutla, Goi, Chorang and Sharam Thatch lots are the Tosh-Kutla accessions.
- The 1917 Kangra gazetteer's "Tos Nal" (on the old route "to the Tos Nal and Pulga") and "Tos" (where the men sent by Louis Dane in 1888 "came out") may be the Tosh stream and village. The gazetteer does not say so; the article does not use them.
- tosh is a Kulu tree name in Harcourt (1871). No source ties the village name to the tree.
- ETV Bharat (2022) lists Tosh among about sixteen localities of the operation and gives no area for any one of them.
- Punjab Kesari (27 September 2026) gives the 25 ha for Tosh and Malana together; it does not split the area between them.
