A highland Manipuri ganja strain grown commercially on the border of Burma. Farmers here are Naga tribesman. Historically the Naga tribes have at times grown ganja, but cannabis growing is usually viewed as a Meitei (lowland Manipuri) tradition. Most fields in Ukhrul are commercial, for the Indian market, though some of the crop may go to Burma ('Myanmar').

This seems to be a much shorter strain than the classic Manipuri grown in Imphal Valley by the Meitei. Half of plants are the purple phenotype; some are surprisingly resinous. Aromas are sour citrus ganja with some floral notes. Effect is an uplifting 'sativa' high.

An unusual variety, little seen in the West, likely to be worth exploring for compact 'sativa' genetics.
