These are the most common low-altitude bamboo in West himalayas. The stems are usually less than 10 m and are erect, slender and often waxy. They do flower but sporadically and the leaves are long and thin. You should be able to recognize this plant very easily. The dense stems means it is used for making mats and baskets. These could even be a cheap substitute for trekking poles.
