Spikenard Nepali Rope Incense — Himalayan Blend

An ancient fragrance of the Himalayas, braided with devotion and ritual.

This Spikenard Rope Incense is a sacred handmade blend of Himalayan herbs, including spikenard, sandalwood (red & white), sugandhi bal, clove, and cardamom. Harvested from the high mountain regions of Nepal, spikenard has been used for centuries in spiritual ceremonies, temples, and homes for its deep, earthy aroma.

Each incense rope is hand-rolled in rice paper, then twisted into its distinctive rope form. When lit, it releases a warm, grounding fragrance that lingers with sweet spice and wood. Traditionally used in stupas and Newar community rituals, this incense embodies Himalayan heritage.

Mind & Body benefits: mind — grounding, meditative; body — soothing, warming.
