Why Care Across Borders

You're doing everything
you can. And it still
doesn't feel like enough.

You send money. You call. You remind them to eat well, to rest, to look after themselves. But you know them. The money goes into the household. Into everyone else. Their tired shoulders, their aching back, their skin that hasn't been cared for in years — that can wait. It always waits.

"They would never spend this on themselves. That's exactly what makes it the most meaningful thing you can give."

Care Across Borders exists because of that feeling — the one that sits quietly in your chest when you hang up the phone. The wish that you could reach through the distance and actually take care of them. Now you can.

Or combine 2 credits for one Ayurvedic Half Day (200 mins) — a complete Ayurvedic restoration programme. The choice is theirs.

Luxury wellness treatment room

This Isn't Luxury. It's Science.

The conditions they're carrying
have real treatments.

We've all been told that spa treatments are indulgences — something for special occasions. But what your loved one is carrying right now: the stress, the tension, the inflammation, the fatigue — these are real medical conditions with real, proven solutions. Here's what each service actually does.

Each plan includes wellness credits. 1 credit = 1 session from the menu below. 2 credits = Ayurvedic Half Day (200 mins). Your loved one chooses what their body needs.
Hot stone massage

Signature & Hot Stone Massage

1 credit · 60 min

For the one who carries stress in their body. Clinical studies show a single 60-minute massage reduces cortisol by up to 30%, lowers heart rate, and significantly relieves muscle tension. Hot stone therapy uses heat to reach deeper muscle layers — particularly effective for chronic fatigue and poor circulation.

Potli herbal poultice therapy

Potli (Herbal Poultice Therapy)

1 credit · 60 min

For the one with joint pain, inflammation, or a body that aches in ways they never mention. Potli combines heat therapy with Ayurvedic herbs absorbed through the skin — clinically effective for musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, and chronic inflammation. The aches they've learned to live with don't have to stay.

Pichu spinal oil therapy

Pichu

1 credit · 60 min

For the one who never truly switches off. Pichu applies warm medicated oil to the head and spine, directly calming the sympathetic nervous system. Used for chronic headaches, mental fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia. For someone who has forgotten what stillness feels like — this is the gift of it.

Foot reflexology

Foot Reflexology · Spinal · Head & Shoulder

1 credit · 60 min

For the one who stands all day, sits all day, or carries the weight of the household in their posture. Targeted pressure on specific reflex points stimulates circulation, reduces nerve compression, and releases the postural strain that accumulates over years of physical and emotional labour.

Premium care facial

Premium Care Facial

1 credit · 60 min

For the one whose skin has been last on their list. In Nepal's climate — the dust, sun exposure, pollution — skin health deteriorates in ways that are not just cosmetic. A clinical facial addresses blocked pores, UV damage, dehydration, and early aging at the cellular level. For the one who has looked after everyone else's face but their own.

Manicure and pedicure treatment

Manicure & Pedicure

1 credit · 60 min

This one matters more than it sounds. Fungal nail infections affect up to 10% of adults — more common in older people, and in Nepal's climate, frequently untreated for years. Left unaddressed, they spread, thicken the nail bed, and cause chronic pain. This session treats fungal infection, cracked heels, ingrown nails, and includes a therapeutic foot massage clinically shown to improve circulation and reduce nerve compression. For the hands and feet that worked a lifetime without anyone looking after them.

Ayurvedic Half Day Programme

Ayurvedic Half Day Programme

2 credits · 200 min

The deepest, most complete Ayurvedic experience available at Tranquility. A 200-minute programme built from four traditional therapies, sequenced to work together on the body as a whole — not just one area. For the one who has been carrying too much for too long.

Shir Skandhasya Malisa

60 min · Head & shoulder massage with warm Ayurvedic oil. Relieves chronic tension, improves scalp circulation, and calms an overactive mind.

Taila Dhara

40 min · Continuous warm oil poured steadily onto the forehead and scalp. Clinically shown to reduce anxiety, cortisol, and support deep nervous system rest.

Ayurvedic Abhyanga

60 min · Full body warm oil massage using long rhythmic strokes. Improves lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation, nourishes tissues, and promotes deep cellular restoration.

Charan Abhyanga

40 min · Dedicated foot and lower leg massage. Stimulates vital pressure points, improves circulation in the lower body, and grounds the nervous system after the full treatment.

200 minutes total. The most restorative experience on the menu — reserved for the ones who need it most.

Our Long-Term Vision

We're building toward
something bigger.

Care Across Borders started with a simple observation: the people who spent their whole lives caring for others — their children, their families, their communities — are often the ones who end up most alone.

Our long-term vision is to contribute a portion of CAB's profits to old age homes across Nepal. To make sure that the people who gave everything are not forgotten. That the warmth they gave their families finds its way back to them.

We're not there yet. We're in our pilot — learning, building, proving the model. But every plan you gift moves us closer to that. Because this was never just about wellness. It was always about care.

A Note from the Founder

Why I built Care Across Borders

As I've grown older, I've come to understand something that took me years to see clearly: wellness — the kind that reaches your mind, your body, and the quiet spaces in between — is not a luxury. It is what it means to live well. And yet, for most of our parents and grandparents in Nepal, it has always felt like something reserved for someone else.

My parents, until recently, had never spent on holistic wellness. Not because they didn't deserve it — but because the culture of it hadn't reached them. They spent their lives giving everything to their families. And somehow, in all that giving, the habit of caring for themselves simply never formed.

I also noticed something else: as they got older, their world got smaller. The active community they once had slowly faded into the rhythm of home and chores. That quiet isolation is one of the most invisible forms of suffering.

"I found it was easier to gift wellness to others than to give it to myself. And I thought — if that's how it works, then let gifting be the door through which this culture of care finally enters."

Care Across Borders is my attempt to answer the question I kept asking: what can I give them that actually contributes to their life — not just fills a day, but genuinely changes how they feel?

I am 23. What I have is a deep belief that the people who raised us deserve to be cared for — and a commitment to making that possible, one family at a time.

Common Questions

Before you reach out

Everything you might want to know — answered honestly.

What if my loved one is unwell on a retreat day? +

We will work with you to find the best option — carrying the retreat forward to next year's programme, or arranging alternative wellness services of equivalent value. We are always on your side.

What if they are hesitant or don't want to attend? +

Our team will gently introduce the plan, explain the experience, and give them time to warm to the idea. If they ultimately choose not to attend a retreat, we are unable to offer a refund as venues and experts are confirmed in advance.

How do I pay? +

We accept Visa, Mastercard, and major debit cards. International bank transfers and Wise are also accepted. Once you reach out, we will send a secure payment link. Payment in full secures your spot.

When do the wellness credits expire? +

All wellness credits are valid for 12 months from purchase. Your loved one can use them any time during the year — at any Tranquility branch, for any service on the menu. Our team follows up regularly to help them book, and will always remind them before the year closes.

Can I upgrade to a higher plan later? +

Mid-year upgrades are not standard during the pilot. That said, message us — we are a small founder-led team and we will always try our best.

What happens when the plan year ends? +

We reach out to you first — before anyone else — to offer renewal. Founding families are offered renewal at their original pilot pricing, locked in for as long as they continue with us.

Is this only for Nepali families? +

Care Across Borders was built with Nepali expats in mind. But the gift of wellness has no border. Anyone who has someone they care about in Nepal is welcome here.
