This property joins SHG’s portfolio of 14 family-owned premium lodges, offering exceptional trekking experiences along the Great Himalayan Trails. The origins of SHG, which officially formed during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, date back more than two decades to the efforts of Lakpa Sonam Sherpa and the late Ang Tshering Sherpa. Their vision has always been to develop high-quality accommodations in Nepal’s remote and beautiful regions.
For over thirty years, MLN has been synonymous with warmth and hospitality, providing trekkers with safe and welcoming accommodations in the Himalayas. With its new property in Manang, MLN continues its mission to redefine high-end tourism in Nepal, catering to travelers seeking meaningful journeys while bringing quality and economic benefit back to local communities.
