This journey takes you to one of Ladakh’s most fascinating yet less-visited destinations, recently opened to tourists. Along the way, you’ll pass spectacular mountain ranges and small villages.

The area is mainly guarded by the Ladakh Scouts, a special unit of the Indian Army. One of the villages here was recaptured by the Army in 1971. Many locals still have relatives across the Line of Control and rely on farming vegetables and apricots, as well as working as porters and mule providers. Baltistan is a beautiful village with warm, welcoming people. As one villager recalls: “On the night of December 13, 1971, the people of this village went to sleep in Pakistan. The next morning, they woke up in India.”
