One of the main highlights of Mustang is its spectacular scenery. The hotel sits in the shadows of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, providing jaw-dropping vistas. The surrounding area is filled with impressive canyons, colorful rock formations, and sweeping valleys.

The culture and history of Mustang also make it exceptionally interesting to visit. Also known as the “Lost Kingdom,” Mustang was an independent kingdom until the 1400s when it became part of Nepal. Remnants of its Tibetan culture remain strong, like the walled city of Lo Manthang, Tibetan Buddhism, and age-old festivals. Guests can observe cultural traditions in nearby villages, visit ancient cave monasteries, and see the ruins of the royal palace complex.
The local cuisine also reflects Mustang’s ties to Tibet. Hearty soups, momo dumplings, sweet tea, and tsampa (roasted barley flour) are dining staples. Yak meat and local vegetables feature prominently on menus. Shinta Mani Mustang’s restaurant incorporates these ingredients into gourmet preparations coupled with Himalayan herbs, chilies, and mountain spices.
