Maintaining Ancient Tradition The oldest surviving Lokta paper is a religious text, a copy of the Karanya Buha Sutra Buddhist text, estimated to be 1,000 to 1,900 years old. Lokta Paper is still used today for official Nepali government documents and has been produced in a similar fashion for centuries. This handmade leather journal to write in for men and women features one of the world's most unique papers. Lokta Paper - A Tradition of 1,000 Years Handcrafted in the Himalayas and used anciently for sacred texts, Lokta paper has been a staple of Nepalese artisans for centuries. The paper is made from Lokta bushes which grow on the southern slopes of the Nepali Himalayas at an elevation between 5,250 and 13,000 feet. When properly cut, the bushes produce three to eight new, fast-growing shoots making Lokta paper one of the most sought-after, renewable and sustainable, non-tree papers. Lokta Paper - A Unique, Hand-made Paper Once harvested by hand, the fibrous inner Lokta bush bark is cooked into a mash and then spread by hand on boxed screens and set to dry in the Himalayan sun. This heating and drying process on the mountainside creates a tough, fibrous paper. Himalayan Sun-kissed Paper The boxed screens create a beautiful and natural texture on the paper with one side screen-kissed and the other sun-kissed. This process creates one of the world’s most unique, acid-free papers. Leather Bound Journal Use this large leather journal as a sketchbook, diary, a unique gift, meditation notebook, traveling journal, poetry book, or adventure journal. The Everest Explorer Journal is ready to join you in your travels at home or abroad. Begin your Adventure Natural Flecks from the Outer Bark The beautiful Lokta paper texture contains natural flecks from the bush and can vary slightly in thickness from page to page due to the unique handcrafting process. Unique Vegetable-Dyed Water Buffalo Leather The time-honored practice of vegetable tanning with black walnut husks gives the rugged water buffalo leather a rich dark brown color. Slight variations in the color are produced from season to season, making each journal one-of-a-kind. Deckle Edge Paper The paper's antique-style deckled edges (similar to rough cut) are styled by hand and make a special journal even more unique and a popular choice among journalists and explorers.
