Travel Journal (handmade sustainable paper)

These elegant travel journals are hand-made and soft-bound with velvety Nepalese paper. Each one is a unique piece of art, crafted in the ancient tradition. Thumbing through its textured, velvety pages, you're invited to slow down and record the murmurs of the heart and soul.

It's flexible enough to fit in a pocket or roll up in a yoga mat, yet the handsome acid-free cover will sit on your bookshelf for decades in humble service, like a treasured holy book, or the beloved early journals of a long-since immortal poet.

For centuries, the people of Nepal and Tibet have inscribed their legal, historical and religious texts on this very same paper.

Made from the Lokta plant, an unassuming shrub with the ability to regenerate every six years, Lokta paper is still produced using time-honored methods passed down from generation to generation.

Every step in the production process is done by hand: from the harvesting of the long, sturdy fibers to the careful binding of every journal. Each resulting item is a piece of art, combining elegant design with a rustic yet soft look and feel.

Lamali Lokta is made by artisan workshops committed to social responsibility, environmental conservation and maintaining traditional Nepalese culture. A portion of all proceeds goes toward rural economic development projects.

Popularly known as rice paper, Lokta has been handmade from time immemorial from the bark of Daphne Papyracea. These plants are found in the forest of Nepal between the altitudes of 6500ft to 9500ft.

Lokta production does not affect the fragile forest ecology of Nepal. Nepalese farmers allow sufficient time for the plants to grow and develop.
