Shinta Mani Mustang

Shinta Mani Mustang, a Bensley Collection, is one of Nepal’s most extraordinary luxury wilderness retreats. Formerly known as Moksha Mustang Lodge, the property officially reopened in August 2023 following a complete transformation under the celebrated designer Bill Bensley and the prestigious Shinta Mani brand.

Perched in the dramatic landscape of Jomsom at 2,800 m (9,186 ft) in Lower Mustang—the gateway to Upper Mustang—the lodge offers an immersive, all-inclusive Himalayan escape designed for discerning travelers seeking both adventure and refined comfort.

A Luxury Sanctuary in the “Forbidden Kingdom”

Rich in culture, geology, and ancient Himalayan mystique, Mustang has long been known as Nepal’s “forbidden kingdom.” Nestled within the spectacular Kali Gandaki Valley between the mighty Annapurna mountain range and Dhaulagiri mountain range, the lodge provides an exceptional base for curated high-altitude adventures.

The experience is fully inclusive and thoughtfully designed for travelers who value exclusivity, culture, and meaningful exploration.

Inspired Design, Seamlessly Himalayan

Built primarily from local stone and timber, the lodge’s 29 elegant suites blend harmoniously into the rugged mountainside. Styled after traditional Tibetan homes, each suite features:

• Spacious open-plan bedroom and living area
• Elegant ensuite bathroom
• Floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking views of the Nilgiri Himal

Interiors showcase Tibetan artistic influences, layered with rich textiles, handcrafted rugs, and bespoke wooden furnishings. Subtle bold accents add personality, creating a mountain retreat that feels both timeless and indulgent.

Curated Adventures in the High Himalaya

With expert guides leading the way, guests can experience Mustang through carefully crafted activities, including:

• Scenic hiking and cultural walks
• Horseback riding across the trans-Himalayan terrain
• Rock climbing and cycling adventures
• Traditional archery experiences

Each journey is designed to reveal the raw beauty and deep cultural heritage of Mustang in comfort and style.
