A Unique Leather and Vegetable-dyed Lokta Cover

Continue the Adventure with Handmade Lokta Paper
The paper comes from Lokta bushes which grow in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. This tree-free source grows back quickly when cut, making it a renewable source.
The fibrous inner-bark is cooked into a thick mash and then spread by hand across boxed screens, forming the paper as it dries and hardens in the Himalayan sun. Often referred to as Nepali paper, Lokta paper is still used for official government documents in Nepal.
The paper has a unique texture with one side showing the intricate pattern from the screen used to create the paper, and the other side, the sun-kissed side has a more natural and varied texture. The paper contains natural flecks from the lokta bark and has a beautiful texture from the handmade process.

A great journal and gift for men or women to write in, the notebook measures 6x9 inches and has 96 pages (192 front/back). Capture your dreams, prayers, thoughts, and reflections in this journal. Great notebook as a one-of-a-kind gift!
Thank you for supporting a tradition in paper making that spans over 1,000 years in Nepal.
