” 32 years and I still sell Lokta (Nepali Handmade Artisan Paper). We started very small. But now due to changing times I have to renovate the shop and add more glitter. It’s easy for me as this is my property and a big chunk of money doesn’t go away in rent, which can be really expensive in a place like Thamel.”
32 years huh?
” Yeah, my son’s all grown up now and also takes care of the shop. And genuine Lokta (Nepali Handmade Artisan Paper) is hard to come by, these days.”
– Prakash Shrestha, Shop Owner of Paper Products, Thamel, Kathmandu
