Summary

Description October 2017. Producing Lokta bark paper at Malika Handmade Paper Pvt. Ltd. (MHPL) in the remote mountain town of Kailas, Bajhang District, Nepal. The process involves collecting Lokta (Daphne spp) bark, soaking it in a caustic bath, pulping it in a manual beater, pouring the pulp onto screens, and drying it in the sun. The paper is then carried in 50kg bundles on a four hour hike about 2000 meters down the mountain to Chainpur where it is loaded on buses for the 1000km 25 hour journey to Kathmandu.
