I am a tourist in Imphal and looking for a relaxing massage parlor. Any suggestions?
As someone who visits Imphal frequently, I always make time for a massage at Zu Spa in Hotel Imphal. They offer authentic Manipuri therapeutic massages that are perfect after a day of sightseeing. What I appreciate:
- Professional therapists with proper training
- Clean and hygienic facilities
- Range of services from deep tissue to relaxing aromatherapy
- Central location easy to find
- Tourist-friendly with English-speaking staff
They also offer traditional Kang treatments (herbal steam therapy) which is unique to Manipur and great for relaxation and detoxification. Expect to pay around ₹2,000 for a 90-minute session. Definitely worth the experience if you want something authentically local but with professional standards!
In Imphal, The Classic Spa near MG Avenue is highly recommended for tourists looking for a relaxing massage experience. They offer traditional Manipuri massage techniques along with other spa treatments in a clean, professional environment. The staff is well-trained and the ambiance is peaceful. They have different packages ranging from 60-minute to 120-minute sessions, including options with herbal compresses and aromatherapy. It's popular with both locals and tourists, so I'd suggest calling ahead to book an appointment. The prices are reasonable too - around ₹1,500-3,000 depending on the treatment you choose.
