• An ancient and honored tradition of paper making in Nepal, Lokta paper is used for official government documents, and special applications such as keepsake journals. The Tree-free paper is made by hand, is acid free, and the pages are twice as thick as standard paper.

• The lokta bush provides the pulp for the paper and grows naturally on the southern slopes of the Himalayas of Nepal. When cut, the lokta bush quickly regrows. Lokta fibers are cooked into a mash and then spread by hand across boxed screens and set to dry in the Himalayan sunshine.
