Turtuk Village (Balti Frontier)

Turtuk, Ladakh, India

4.7 (0)

Overview

The apricot-terraced Balti village opened to visitors only in 2010 — stone lanes, a tiny royal house and K2-ward views on the last bend before the LoC.

Why visit: A living piece of Baltistan inside India — utterly charming.

History: Part of Baltistan until 1971, its people, language and polo keep a Gilgit flavour unique in India.
