Nepal is not exactly a spa-type destination. The ubiquitous massage industry in Kathmandu is completely overrun by prostitutes and pimps. In Pokhara, the situation is not much better. While there are a couple of "legitimate" places in town, the quality of service is very poor.
In some of the better hotels (Soaltee, Yak & Yeti) offer massage service, but again, the service is nothing special.
Outside of the two main cities, finding a massage is difficult, but there are providers on some of the popular trekking routes, especially Annapurna. Quality is hit or miss.
Going to Nepal with the expectation of having a good spa experience is not realistic. You might consider alternative destinations if that is your main objective of travel.
