Some Asian destinations scream ultra-luxe. Others are less obvious quarry for upscale experiences. And perhaps it is this element of the unknown that makes luxury travel in destinations such as Nepal, Ladakh, Mongolia, and Azerbaijan so special.

Luxury in the “Land of Fire”

Its narrow cobblestoned alleyways, historic caravanserais, hammams, mosques, and hidden courtyards tell the story of Baku’s evolution through the centuries.
India’s northern star
It’s easy to understand why Ladakh is often known as India’s final frontier.
Almost completely cut off from the outside world between November and May due to freezing winter conditions, and only reachable during the summer months via the highest mountain passes in the world, it’s a magical and mystical destination unlike any other.
Ladakh is blessed with some unforgettable accommodation options amid its otherworldly beauty. The Ultimate Travelling Camp properties throughout India are synonymous with being the ne plus ultra of glamping, and the facilities at its two Ladakh camps – Chamba Camp Diskit and Chamba Camp Thiksey — could surpass many a 5-star hotel.
Nothing exudes luxury more than having all things luxe in a remote destination. Heated triple-layered canvas tents have gleaming hardwood floors, Kashmiri carpets, elegant colonial furniture, a hot shower, Ayurveda-inspired toiletries, a complimentary refreshments bar, ample plug sockets, loungers, bejeweled chandeliers, and 24-hour butler service (who can say no to coffee on call?).
The spacious tents also open out to some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet.
Himalayan Heights in Mustang
Stretching north from the Annapurna range towards Tibet, Mustang is one of Nepal’s most unique regions.
Indeed, with its high-altitude desert landscapes and procession of Buddhist chortens (stupas), you could be forgiven for thinking you’d passed by the border crossing into Nepal’s northern neighbor without realizing it.
The main gateway to this magical corner of the Himalayas is Jomson, which is cut off in two halves by the Kali Gandaki: the deepest gorge in the world. This area is home to Shinta Mani Mustang – a Bensley Collection, the Nepal debut for Thailand-based American hotel designer Bill Bensley.
Mustang is characterized by desert landscapes punctuated by towering peaks like Mount Nilgiri and a procession of Buddhist chortens (stupas).
Interiors at the new property will incorporate warm-colored fabrics and materials to reflect the rich tones of the surrounding landscape, which can be viewed from every window of the Lodge. Huge fire pits on the outdoor terrace will allow guests to admire millions of stars in the night sky in warmth as the temperatures dip.
