Shinta Mani Mustang - A BENSLEY Collection

Shinta Mani Mustang – A BENSLEY Collection (previously Moksha Mustang) is an uber-stylish resort that promises an unforgettable experience in one of northern Nepal’s isolated, remote corners.

This chic, boutique hotel is an extraordinary collaboration orchestrated by the renowned architect Bill Bensley, complemented by the hospitality expertise of Jason Friedman, and enriched with the invaluable local knowledge of Namgyal Sherpa. With the spectacular 7,000-metre Nilgiri mountain range providing a stunning backdrop, this mountain retreat enjoys a dramatic setting in the small, remote town of Jomsom and is an oasis of luxury. It is ideally located to discover Lower Mustang’s breathtaking Himalayan scenery and Tibetan culture in style.

Inspired by the traditional homes of the local Thakali people, Shinta Mani Mustang is built using wood and stone and adorned with locally sourced artefacts showcasing the rich traditional heritage of the region. The elegantly designed interiors feature hand-picked Tibetan art and imagery, designer blankets, and handmade Tibetan rugs from Nepal. Combined with stylish wooden furnishings and splashes of bold color, these elements highlight Bensley’s brilliance, creating an ambience of timeless design, opulence, and luxurious comfort.

Accommodation in 29 spacious high-ceilinged rooms that effortlessly balance modern comforts and contemporary minimalist style whilst sporting an earthy tone to give it an authentic rustic feel. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows designed to offer stunning mountain vistas. At Shinta Mani Mustang, meals are taken at the multi-cuisine restaurant that serves sumptuous Nepali cuisine and tasty international cuisine. Pre-dinner drinks, including the famous Apple Brandy and refreshing cocktails, are served at the bar all evening.

Shinta Mani Mustang consciously employs environmentally friendly practices, and while the rock walls retain the sun’s warmth, herbs and vegetables are sourced from their greenhouse and clean electrical power is sourced from a nearby hydropower station.
