STUPA incense is a socially and environmentally conscious business that supports the cottage industry providing employment to many local artisans in the Kathmandu Valley, essentially allowing them to continue their trades within their own homes.

They have been in the industry for over 2 decades, their incense is handmade using the Lama Dorjee technique. Please note that when Stupa Incense started their business they were taught the ancient art of incense making by Lama Dorjee and his recipe continues to be used to create their incense to this day.

Their business is based in the foothills of the Nagarjung Forest in the Kathmandu Valley and as a result they have direct access to a wide range of pure natural ingredients like herbs, plants, leaves and tree barks that are foraged, dried, ground down and then blended to create their unique incense sticks.

Their packaging is either fully recyclable or re-usable and they are huge supporters of artisan hand made lokta paper with many of their products being either wrapped in this paper.

Rope incense is an unique alternative to incense sticks and cones. Made of Lokta paper (an eco-friendly paper indigenous to Nepal), these ropes are made by hand-rolling the incense powder into rice paper. Feel the calming change in your surroundings as the gentle incense smoke fill the air.

The incense can be used for meditation or as an air freshener. Perfect to purify the body, mind and surroundings.

Each batch contains 50 hand rolled rope incense. And is made individually by hand, so there might be a slight difference in colour or size. Burning time is roughly 20 minutes each.

Clears the mind and allows you to create your own Sacred Space., connecting you back in to your most loving Sacred Self.
