Five spas for targeted healing therapies

From treatments based on the ancient Tibetan healing system to the tried and tested ayurveda, these five spas offer more than relaxing sessions.

Regular spas offering classic spa services like Swedish and trekker’s massages are a dime a dozen in Kathmandu Valley. But if you are in the mood to go beyond the usual, the Valley has several centres that offer healing therapies that you wouldn’t find at your regular spas. From horme (a traditional Tibetan herbal massage therapy dubbed to be helpful for those dealing with stress and anxiety) to janu basti (an ancient ayurvedic therapy for those with knee problems), there’s a whole world of treatments out there that can do wonders for your mind and body.
