The best part of traveling to foreign countries is being able to experience the difference. The best part of traveling to affordable foreign countries is being able to experience luxury. Massages and wellness centres are nothing in my budget range while living in Canada and even Europe, however while traveling Asia it is almost always going to be affordable even on a backpackers budget. For $10 in Thailand, I could get a full body massage on the beach. For a similar price in Nepal, the Nirvana Wellness Centre offers a full body oil massage for one hour. I didn’t think that it could get much better, but it did! Nirvana has a variety of wellness activities including their sauna, swimming pool, Himalayas healing centre and best of all… Zumba! So here’s to experiencing luxury while on a budget! The Nirvana Wellness Centre is a great place to visit while in Nepal. Why? Well..

1. For one, I’m writing this blog and I can confidently tell you it is safe. The wellness centre is situated in the grounds of the Shaligram Hotel with 24/7 security on staff and a lovely restaurant nearby.

2. It’s affordable. Many places in Nepal are bound to be affordable, but with safety as your number one concern, having an affordable place in addition is pretty awesome too.

3. It’s comforting. If you’re looking for a happy ending, this isn’t the place to come… The Nirvana Wellness Centre offers quality relaxing massages that are welcoming and comfortable!
