Nestled in the remote and rugged terrain of Nepal’s Lower Mustang region, Shinta Mani Mustang is a luxury lodge that offers guests an unparalleled adventure and cultural immersion. The lodge, which was named the best hotel for 2024 by National Geographic, is an all-inclusive retreat that pairs guests with local guides who take them on customized excursions amid the stunning mountain and desert landscapes.
Guests can choose from a variety of experiences, such as biking to ancient Buddhist monasteries, trekking to the sacred Dumba Lake, or exploring the historic walled city of Lo Manthang. Along the way, they can witness the rich and diverse culture of the Mustang people, who have preserved their Tibetan heritage and traditions for centuries.
The lodge itself is a masterpiece of architecture and design, blending in with the natural surroundings and reflecting the local aesthetic.
