Wailing Valley

Wailing Valley

Oral History

Wailing Valley is situated 7 km east of the Malana Village, located in Malana Valley (Himachal Pradesh, India). The 7 Km upward hike is steep and causes a sudden change in altitude from roughly 2400 meters to 3000+ meters. This valley is only used for cultivation of hash plants remains shut for visitors and only a handful of families in the village actually own land in the Wailing Valley, with most families having fields in magic and watching valleys which have been open to tourism due to the easy access and camping sites. Plants in wailing valley show a considerable difference in smell, size, and form. The plants tend to ripe a bit faster compared to other valleys and can have extremely vivid flavours like ripe mango, cherries, wine, body odor, floral, naphthalene and incense being some of them. The flowering buds are usually bigger and have better resin coverage in contrast to the village and lower altitude valleys. Flowering in 12 weeks.
