✦ Overview

About This Destination

Khaplu is one of Baltistan's best-kept secrets — a lush, fertile valley where the Shyok and Saltoro rivers meet beneath towers of rock and ice. The beautifully restored Khaplu Palace (Chaqchan Fort) is Pakistan's finest heritage hotel, offering a window into the royal Yabgo dynasty. With treks toward Siachen Glacier, visits to 700-year-old mosques, and stunning autumn colour, Khaplu rewards the curious traveller like nowhere else.
