Inside Qatar’s Shilajit Boom: From Himalayan Origins to Doha Shelves

Altai Mountain Shilajit

Shilajit Market

Shilajit forms through centuries of plant matter decomposition in high-altitude mountain fissures — and Mount Altai in Siberia is one of the key sources.
A brand is a label provided by the government. 

But what is the guarantee that the Shilajit in it is genuine? The price of genuine Shilajit  is about INR1,20,000 (1000 grams), while branded  and fake Shilajit is available for 20,000 to 30,000, which is strong evidence that it is fake. Shilajit collected from an altitude of 1-2 thousand feet in Nepal and Uttrakhand. In Kashmir Altai mount 1,20,000 per kg, while the price of shilajit from Nepal and Uttarakhand is 5 to 7,000 per kg.

From the Slopes of the Kashmir Himalayas: Discovering the Resilient Wild Tomato

Cold-Hardy and Untamed: The Science Behind Himalayan Wild Tomatoes

The Himalayan wild tomato most likely refers to a wild species or local variety of tomato found in the Himalayan region, particularly in areas like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh , or Nepal. While no species goes by the exact name "Himalayan wild tomato" in global scientific databases, the term is used colloquially or in ecological studies to refer to certain wild Solanum species found in that environment.
