This is a traditional Nepalese rope incense (Joss-sticks), made up of twisting the roll by hand. It is prepared by the Nepali household women. While burning this incense, the Nepalese believes that the god and goddess of ancient times enjoys a lot with this smell, why not you try once by you, as the people have been using this incense from the ancient time till now. The sandalwood powder is wrapped in the rice paper. It contains 20 sticks. Each stick burns for 30 minutes."

  • Natural herbs and spices are mixed together in a masala preparation and sprinkled onto strips of handmade paper which are then twisted into the classic rope incense form. The paper is sometimes called Nepali rice paper but it is actually Lotka bark handmade paper. Lotka refers to a small woody plant of the Laurel family which grows at over 6000 feet in the Himalayas, and has been traditionally used in Nepal to make paper. Lotka paper is a renewable resource, and provides a source of income to paper crafting families and village communities.
