A Nepali Tradition for over a Thousand Years
------------------------------------------------------------
Lokta Papers are exclusively and traditionally hand crafted by best artisans in the Himalayas region of Nepal using local labour and raw materials. These acid free papers are made without electricity no tree destruction. The bark of the Lokta bush that grows at altitude of 6500-9500 feet from sea level is a renewable source with capacity to regenerate itself from undamaged root system.
Lokta Paper is unique in many ways. It can be preserved for very long period of time. The papers made from Lokta are non-perishable in the water; free from germs and highly resistant to insects. It is also excellent for wrapping precious stones, as its soft fibres do not scratch the stones.
We are proud of our undertaking to preserve the art of traditional paper-making and our involvement in the socio-economic development of the lower strata of society in the rural Himalayas Kingdom of Nepal.
