Traditional Handmade Lokta Paper
Lokta paper, also known as Nepali paper, comes from the fibrous inner bark of the Lokta bush (Daphne bhoula or Daphne papyracea), an evergreen shrub found between 1,600 and 4,000 metres on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. The Lokta bush regenerates within 5 to 7 years after harvesting, which is part of why the paper is considered one of the most eco-friendly papers available. Its remarkably strong fibers give it durability, a soft luscious feel, and natural resistance to insects, which is why Lokta paper remains Nepal’s national paper, historically used for legal documents, land registry forms and manuscripts.
Sustainable Harvesting
Lokta bark is collected with environmental awareness, and large-scale Lokta resources remain untapped since the plant regenerates within 5 to 7 years of harvesting. Choosing these cards supports both traditional Nepali papermaking and sustainable land use.
