Shinta Mani Mustang is a true masterpiece, a result of the remarkable collaboration between Bensley design, the orchestration of Jason Friedman, and the local knowledge and years of hospitality experience of Namgyal Sherpa, CEO of Sherpa Hospitality. Nestled amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of the Mustang region, this exclusive resort promises a fully-inclusive journey that is nothing short of unforgettable and transformative.

From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in the enchanting elegance of the meticulously designed interiors, showcasing the Bensley magic touch. Local materials, hand-picked art, and rich textiles adorn every corner, creating an ambience of opulence and comfort. The stone structure, ingeniously crafted by original architect Prabal Thapa, seamlessly integrates into the local landscape, almost camouflaged on the mountainside. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the property offer breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic Nilgiri Range, a sight that will leave you mesmerized.

But Shinta Mani Mustang is not just a feast for the eyes; it is a testament to sustainable architecture and responsible living. The design incorporates passive solar principles to minimize energy consumption, while extensive insulation throughout the property reduces heat loss and gain. The internal courtyard provides a peaceful sanctuary, sheltering guests from the powerful Jomsom winds, and carefully placed berms and bioswales in the landscaping protect the buildings from the elements.

The resort takes pride in showcasing the artwork of renowned artist Robert Powell, who was celebrated for his creations across the Himalayas. Limited edition prints of Powell's works, capturing the essence of the Mustang region, adorn the walls of Shinta Mani Mustang, adding a touch of cultural richness to the ambiance. Handmade rugs from Mt. Refuge, a boutique design studio focusing on traditional Tibetan handicrafts, grace the floors, while exquisite hand-woven blankets and cushions from Altai-Himalaya, a high-end atelier in Kathmandu, provide a sense of indulgence and comfort.

Outside, the resort's surroundings come alive with the vibrant strokes of Dhwoj Gurung, an outdoor painter based in Nepal. His acrylic and oil paintings, capturing the scenic wonders of the region, evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds the resort.
