Hello, this is mentor Seeun.
Wow, Lokta paper seems like a beautiful raft. It remind me of Korea??s traditional paper “Hanji”. These traditional papers and not just a craft, it much eco friendlier than the paper we use bowls.
Thank you for introducing this to us!

I ones read that...Lokta paper is like a slice of Nepal's natural beauty and sustainability. Its texture and resilience reflect the spirit of the Lokta plant, making it not just eco-friendly but a work of art in itself. The fact that it supports local communities is an extra reason to love it! Hence I commend you for this article 👍
