Hindu Kush.
Hindu Kush takes its name from the mountain range spanning parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Resin production is a recurring part of its description, alongside earthy, woody, and sandalwood-like aromas. Reader accounts often mention relaxation, sleepiness, and hunger. Its geographic identity is central to the name, which also appears throughout the ancestry and naming of later Kush cultivars.
