Lokta paper is a beautiful self-sustaining
handmade paper from the foothills of
the Himalayas crafted by skilled artisans
using centuries old techniques. Lokta
paper comes from the plant Daphne
Papayracea or Daphne Cannabina
which grows between the altitudes of
6500-9500 ft. It is a self regenerating
plant which when cut at the base, grows
back in 6-7 years. It is an abundant
source giving continued work to the
mountain villagers of Nepal. And best
of all, the harvesting of the plant does
not affect the fragile ecology of the area.
