What Himalayan Hemp is known for

Himalayan Hemp sources its fiber from remote western districts such as Darchula, Bajura, and Rolpa, where farmers have grown and hand-spun hemp at elevations up to 3,500 meters for centuries. Every textile is made by hand in Nepal, keeping the weaving within the highland communities that cultivate the plant.
