Spa visits and the money they generate reached record highs last year in the U.S. with $18.3 billion in revenue driven by 190 million pampering trips, according to the International Spa Association.

There isn’t anything in this world that some pampering can’t take care of. A relaxing bath and a quiet evening are sometimes all it takes to loosen the knots of weariness that comes with tackling everyday life. But should you wish for more, to shed the fatigue of hectic days, months, or even a lifetime, a right spa may just be the place you need to head to. Here are three spas in Kathmandu that we think will be able to help you relax and rejuvenate.

Established six years ago in 2012, Ananda Natural Therapy is one of the only medi spas in Nepal. Ananda consists of not only just a spa but a clinic too. Situated in Thamel, perhaps the most vibrant area in Kathmandu, Ananda Natural Therapy has been a popular destination for both tourists and Nepalis in the area. The ambience is such that you are likely to feel relaxed as soon as you step into the spa and you get a whiff of the beautiful aroma of luxury essential oils, and hear relaxing music as well.

Mandala Studio Yoga and Spa in Thamel is one that initially began off as a yoga studio but later branched out to providing spa treatments as well. Kriti Karki, one of the co-founders of Mandala Studio Yoga and Spa, was a yoga instructor herself and initially started off by providing yoga sessions.
