Lokta Paper

Lokta Paper

Lokta paper is prepared from the bark of a particular tree found in the high- altitude hills of Nepal. The soft pulp obtained as a result of boiling , washing, and beating of the wooden fiber is spread in a wooden frame and dried in the sun before it is put to use. Business stationery, decorative items like lampshade and wall paper, wrapping paper, carry bags are popular items made of the lokta paper. Authentic official transaction especially in the government section is also done on this paper due to its durable nature. Lokta paper and paper products are available at most tourist hubs like Thamel, New Road and the three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu Valley.
