Handmade Paper and Journal From Nepal
Our journals are made with Lokta paper made from Lokta bushes which grow in the high Himalayas of Nepal at altitudes between 5,250 and 13,000 feet.
When properly cut, the bushes can produce three to eight new, fast-growing shoots making Lokta paper one of the most sought-after, non-tree papers.
The fibrous inner bark is cooked into a mash which is hand-applied to boxed screens and set to dry in the Himalayan sun, forming the paper.
Donkeys carry the paper through the mountain passes of the Himalayas on its journey to Kathmandu, Nepal where the paper is crafted into our journals.
The Water Buffalo leather of our Nepali Trekker Journal is tanned using the time honored practice of vegetable tanning with natural black walnut husks.
