Paper Park

One of the best of several shops in Thamel that sell handmade paper products, from photo albums to paper lamps. The paper comes from the lokta (daphne) plant, whose bark is boiled and beaten with wooden mallets before the pulp is spread over a frame to dry. The finished product folds without creasing and is used for all official Nepali documents.
