Lokta is the speciality of Nepal and Khadi of India, have anyone folded with these,if so how should i use them? I have access to this shop which has some really amazing paper. Could someone reccomend which i should use? Their website is http://www.handpaper.com/paper.asp really it would help me a great deal if you could help me with this.

I use lokta extensively, after sizing it with MC, often in two layers, be it only for a colour change. It is a marvel... Don't know the other, though...

Oh thats great! i can get lokta here. How much would be a good price?

I've been folding from Lokta for a while. Yes Lokta is a good paper to fold with usually I treat it with MC or back coat for color change. Since Lokta is handmade they all come in different weights from thin to heavier weights. By looking at the shop they have some nice paper i'd say try it out i buy my sheets for around $4 so i think that should be a good price.

Oh !
I get that much cheaper here
about 50 rs in my currency which is less than 1 dollar

That's a bargain! I wish it was that amount here in the U.S.

Problem is that i can not find MC

Try looking for elmer's art paste. You can get it via amazon, or many other art supply stores.
