Shinta Mani Mustang - A Bensley Collection

I had very high expectations which were fulfilled. This is a world class hotel tucked into out of the way Mustang (more on that). First the staff were incredible - from the GM Rana to our "butler" Yujen to the restaurant and spa - all great. Then the location - views of the Nilgiri peaks right outside our bedroom. 2 8000 m peaks around the corner - Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. We were there early in the season and the hotel was uncrowded so things may change but we had unlimited access to the spa with massages, soaking pool, sauna and steam. Food was wonderful, just what we like with local vegetable based options. The daytime expeditions were pretty much set up - I had been thinking long hikes with a sandwich but the hotel is more into shorter hikes with generous lunches. We worked out longer loops and the lunches were often exceptional - for example on our final day a 5 course Italian feast on the roof of a monastery (after a 10 mile hike). Yujen was with us the whole way making every day a wonderful experience. One downside is actually getting there - I thought the drive in from Pokhara would be a good introduction but it was long (6 + hours) and the roads very super bumpy, especially after the monsoon. I was excited about the (expensive) heli ride back to Kathmandu but this was cancelled due to weather so we had to do the drive back again. The local airport seems a decent option but again very weather dependent, VFR only and with the weather being very windy in the afternoon only good for early morning flights. Wonderful hotel, please go.

truly divine experience I would never forget every little detail is fulfilled with love, care and attention. snowy mountains was my dream to see, in this resort it came out just perfect all staff members are highly professional spa experience is on another level excursions were so carefully planned words can't describe how great this place is I will recommend this paradise to all my friends thank u Shinta Mani, I would love to come back every year for this recharge ♥️

Must to stay. we have choose Shinta Mani as this is the area we want it to stay and lke to experience this hotel. Just Amazing hotel to spend a week. beside of course the view, location. Service at it's best. the staff will try at their upmost. Breakfast was just an amazing moment, evening cocktail really good. Evening diner change on daily and of course other choice in case you would need. daily excursions stunning and guide will ensure all in safe.

First I must start with Sudeep K., who was my first contact when I called to make arrangements. From our first conversation on the phone to the good bye at the airport, he made our experience exceptional. I really do not have the words to express my gratitude for the hospitality that was give to my wife and I. We felt very safe at all stages of our travels in Nepal, and felt the locals were friendly and spiritual. We flew in from Katmandu on a Helicopter and flew out by plane. I highly recommend both forms of transportation. If you are lucky enough to fly by helicopter you will land at the front door of this luxury boutique property. Shinta Miani just opened when we visited and as we walked around the property... it actually took your breath away at every turn. The property is all inclusive curated journey with a surprise every day. My wife especially could wait to get back to the hotel to get her daily massage , while I never wanted to come back to the property until the sun went down. The daily excursions range from Himalayan treks to religious visits and ancient villages and meals were always a special experience since there were no restaurant's where we were going. There are no roads in Mustang but the drivers were amazing at navigating mountain roads and driving in river beds. The vehicles were outfitted perfectly for the adventure. The meals were delicious and a different Nepalese meal each morning and night. They are building a new property in upper mustang and have been renovating all the mountain lodges and I really try not to go anywhere twice, but this will be the exception. I must visit upper mustang and trek to more of the mountain lodges. And must see Sudeep's and daughter as a teenager. This place is different then any other place you have been. Bring an open mind and a lot of energy, i couldn't get enough of Nepal. We were lucky enough to be there with a travel writer (we did a few excursions together) who does a way better job than I. If you search the web for Carolyn Beasley who wrote an article on Shinta Mani for the Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) on January 9, 2024 . She has pictures and awesome descriptions of our daily activities.

Amazing in every aspect. My favorite trip of all time. The staff was incredible. All the actives surpassed our expectations. Sudeep was incredible to work with. Highly recommend. The local food was delicious. The mountain views spectacular.

You do not get closer to heaven than Shinta Mani Mustang. It sits perfectly in its Himalayan landscape, the staff are not only angelic but efficient, accommodation is effortlessly comfortable, food is great, drink plentiful and five days of well thought out excursions make this corner of this planet paradise.

We booked the room through the sales team of Moksha and paid some advance amount as well. The challenges started right after this. Post the booking neither the sales person picked up our call, nor the property manager. We were sending them emails and text messages with no response. As per the package we received we were supposed to get a pick-up from airport. We had nowhere to confirm any details on the driver. Our flight reached at 6.40am in the airport, it was freaking cold and we saw noone there to pick us up and again our unfruitful attempts of calling them and finally after 30 minutes someone picked up the call and said he will arrange for a cab. After almost 50-60 minutes after our arrival we were picked up. We reached the property and it is heavenly beautiful and we had a smooth check-in process. The story still doesn't end here, in the rest room only half toiletries were kept, you have to ask for soaps and shampoo (note there were just two families in the entire resort). The Wifi never worked and even after speaking to the manager about it, they did nothing in the 2 days stay we were there. We were provided with a safe locker in the room to keep valuables, which never worked :P and staffs are clueless about anything you ask, including the manager. The food is way too over priced, but tasty. I will say this can be a great property with a good management. Its just that the staffs are pathetic.

Such a beautiful resort in the heart of Jomsom. You shouldn't miss it while you're traveling to the Mustang region. The food is superb, hospitality great, location marvelous and the astounding finishing of this resort. Dazzling Nilgiri Himal right in front of you with the gorgeous views of Mustang panorama including Thini, Dhumba and beyond. Cannot wait to visit to this resort once again.

Moksha mustang is a mandatory check in place if you are wondering to travel around mustang region. Located near to jomsom airport moksha provided me a soul wandering ambience and hospitality at the lap of himalaya . Staffs were really so good with there work. Quick service and mouth watering food is other aspect that I can’t stop writing. View from the room is really breathtaking. This was my first time experiencing such a wonderful hot tub, sauna and steam facility at this property. Really thankful to Mr. Bharat (“Manager) and Mr. Saphal (Sales & Marketing Executive) for making this trip beautiful and memorable. I expect to visit the property again when i am back to nepal. Thank you.
