I suffer from frequent neck and shoulder pain, so regularly go for massages and have tried Thai, Chinese, Turkish massage in different countries. This was easily one of the best - equal to the "professional" sports therapist I see at home. I was fortunate that there was a slot available when I walked in as it was next door to my hotel. Laxmi was my masseuse. She knew the pressure points and managed to massage away most of my knots and kinks. Booked for a 60-minute session but ended up extending to 90 minutes. Highly recommended if you're in Kathmandu - excellent massage with the opportunity to contribute to a good cause.

Nepali Cooking Course - Day Class

Reviewed By Spicegal123 - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

We took our two daughters to this cooking class and it was wonderful to do as a family. We were warmly welcomed and our kids got stuck straight into momo making and making things with a pestle and mortar - they had so much fun, especially later on trying to make sel roti!! We were certainly not experts at this!! The food we made was delicious and we can't wait to try it again ourselves - a real lovely insight into Nepali life and food, Highly recommended and don't hesitate to take kids too!!

If you are looking for high quality & affordable cashmere sweaters or scarfs this is the place to be! I have been to the shop in 2018 (before hiking my way up to ME basecamp as I had a day or two to spare, I went shopping all over Kathmandu and ended up buying most things here). After coming back home (Netherlands, Europe) I regretted not buying more. Having more spare time (due to Covid19), I went to search online and found the shop I visited in 2018! At first I was a bit hesitant about ordering online and wiring money, but the shop owner Keshab assured me that it would be fine. Everything went super smooth, DHL delivery was amazingly fast (1 week, quicker than the postal service in my country nowadays in Corona times). The sweaters are of high quality. The one I bought in 2018 I wear endlessly in winter. This time I bought a few different colors and a scarf. On top of that I got a present scarf from the shop owner! I highly recommend this shop! Ps. Don’t forget to check your country’s import duties!

I am more than glad to get great schooling from this Nepal Yoga Home. I learn from more than 10 different yoga schools among of them I find this is most impressive and affordable comparing its quality of teaching, food and air conditioning room and facilities. Yoga home offers very safe and warm family environment which is very hard to get such a support. It's safe for tourist and female. I learn very well guided meditation and philosophy under very qualified teacher. I want to give score 100% for everything. Thanks for accommodating me as part of this community and family.

I have been wanting to get to Christmas Mass here for three years and finally made it there tonight. It is difficult to find and to find a mass schedule. With the help of Phuri from Himalayan Friends Trekking, we got there for the whole mass and some wonderful carols before time. It was amazing! We are blessed. I attended with my husband, son and his fiance.

This cooking class was so good! We got to be the first class to do it at night; we went to the local market to buy our vegetables, and enjoyed a rickshaw ride to the school. The place was great for cooking and we learned so much about nepalese cooking and the delicious recipes. The women teaching us was so sweet and made us all laugh so many times, and learning from locals was unique. Thank you so much for this experience.

Had the best Ayurvedic massage here - only 3000 rupees for 1 whole hour, and she went a little over-time. The service was elegant and well put together, including tea beforehand. The lady who massaged me was incredible, the perfect level of intensity, and considerate of how I was feeling. I felt like an absolute queen. Perfect after a trek!

Osho Divine Zone

Reviewed By eimearb348

Hello???? whoever reads this you should go don't hesitate!! Swami Basu has created something very special in osho divine and its not the building the location (which are wonderful and peaceful) it's the energy the feeling or vibration of love and openness. I came initially for 1 week and ended up there for 2 months. It's hard I feel to do justice with just words to describe my experience, really it's wonderful what swami gives and its his love of life and his desire to show people to feel it more and more. The meditations are wonderful and experiencing different styles in a very thoughtful way. I also did the reiki level one and its again wonderful and even a lot more than I expected. The yoga classes offered are wonderful too very meditative with a beautiful energy. And there were so many very meaningful conversations with swami and other guests around the fire in the evening and listening to some beautiful talks by osho. So if all this wasn't enough then there is swami's family and the food!! I ate so well and loved it all definitely food prepared with love???? His mother welcomes everyone so lovingly and is a joy and inspiration to be around???? and his father is so gentle and friendly???? and momtha who comes to cook and help out is a great cook!! I am so grateful for the experience of being there and I hope many others can experience even a taste of this love and knowing????
