Kathmandu- Many people search Google for terms such as “spa near me” and “B2B massage.” An American citizen staying at the Kathmandu Marriott Hotel in Nepal reportedly searched for “spa near me, B2B massage” on Google.
Several spas appeared in the search results. He randomly selected one, took its phone number, and sent a message via WhatsApp asking whether massage services were available ? The reply was, “Yes, sir.” Without further discussion, the spa sent him its massage menu. The prices were listed as follows: - Ayurvedic massage (one hour): NPR 1,200 - Massage with normal service: NPR 4,000 - Full B2B massage (one hour): NPR 7,000 Curious, he asked what a B2B massage involved ? The response was that the therapist and the client would have full body-to-body contact. He then asked for the location and received detailed directions to a place in Ranibari, near Lazimpat.
The instructions mentioned passing the entrance gate of Ranibari Community Forest, crossing a small bridge over a stream, turning left, and then turning right after about 100 metres. The spa was reportedly located above a beauty parlour on the ground floor of a building along the road toward Gangabu Chowk. The American reportedly followed the directions and arrived at the location.
At the reception, he was asked whether he was the person who had sent the earlier message. The therapist then confirmed, “You want B2B, right?” He replied that he did. According to the account, what followed was reportedly more focused on physical intimacy than a conventional massage. During a subsequent meeting, the American recounted the experience to the writer, remarking that he had never expected to encounter such a service hidden behind the label of a massage spa in Nepal.
