Destination

Mustang is an extraordinarily scenic and culturally rich region of Nepal. Often referred to as the Forbidden Kingdom due to its inaccessibility for many years, this section of the Tibetan plateau, rising from 1300 to over 6000 meters above sea level, has more in common with western Tibet than other parts of Nepal, both in topography and culture. Situated on the northern edge of the Himalayas and in the monsoon rain shadow this fascinating high desert is rich in culture, history and geological wonders.

At Shinta Mani Mustang – A BENSLEY Collection, guests are offered a curated all-inclusive five-night adventure package from a base in Jomsom, exploring cultural, historical, and natural sites including the medieval city of Lo Monthang, the holy temple at Muktinath, picturesque villages, Buddhist monasteries, and stunning vistas of Mount Nilgiri and the surrounding desert terrain, aiming to provide an unforgettable exploration of Lower Mustang.
