If you want to support a charity but also want to get a fantastic professional massage, don't miss to visit Seeing Hands in Kathmandu. The difference is that it is a massage clinic for blind therapist which has been set up by a UK charity to offer employment oppoprtunities for blind people. 35% of the cost of a massage goes directly to the therapist while the rest is required to run the spotless facilities. In my time in Nepal, I haven't seen any cleaner and better maintained facilites - well done.
Breathing heavily through the hole in my headpieceof the massage table - while lying on my front - Santosh discovered in seconds my little issue of my shoulder after cramping around the jungle with a heavy backpack on my shoulders and was telling me about my bad posture. Wait a second - how could a blind man tell me about my bad posture? Well, he is a trained professional who just passed his exam - he proudly told me - after telling me all the latin names of my bones and muscles which would be affected. Well done Santosh and I feel so much better today.
If you are not in Kathmandu or Pokhara, you can also support them by a little (or big) donation, just follow the link on their website.
