Kathmandu Massage & Spa: Ayurvedic Treatments with Lunch

Medicated oil, steam and yoga in one day at an Ayurvedic center

A full-day Ayurvedic spa experience in Kathmandu combines massage, herbal steambath, Shirodhara (medicated oil poured over the forehead), one hour of yoga class and a yogic lunch. An English-speaking guide leads the session. The package suits all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible throughout.

The experience

Medicated oil flows across your forehead during Shirodhara, one of five treatments woven into the day. You start with Ayurvedic massage, move into the herbal steambath, then lie still for the Shirodhara therapy before the yoga class settles you into the afternoon. Lunch (built on yogic and Ayurvedic principles) arrives when your body is ready for it. Water and tea come throughout.

The guide speaks English and walks you through each treatment, explaining what the oils and herbs do and how to breathe through the transitions. Nothing here demands fitness or prior experience. The yoga adapts to where you are, and the massage therapists adjust pressure to your comfort. All surfaces are accessible for wheelchair users, and the facility is built to accommodate mobility needs at every stage.
