Tourism

Turtuk is the northernmost village in India accessible to tourists, offering a unique blend of breathtaking Karakoram scenery and rich Balti heritage.

* **Yagbo Dynasty Palace**: A small museum run by the descendant of the Yagbo dynasty, featuring royal artifacts, historical weapons, and genealogical trees. * **Balti Heritage House**: A traditional home preserving the artifacts, traditional clothing, and history of the local Balti people. * **Nangchung (Natural Cold Storage)**: Traditional stone bunkers built over glacial streams, uniquely designed by locals to keep perishables cold during summer. * **Thang Village Viewpoint**: Located slightly past Turtuk, this is the last accessible point for tourists, offering a direct view of the Line of Control and the Pakistani side of the border.
