Each village of Baltistan, while diverse in its own way, has one thing very much in common. Each will have its own summer pasture high up in the mountains. In the local Balti tongue, this pasture is called ‘Broq’.
Khaplu Broq is a sight to behold! Idyllic, serene, peaceful – these are just some words that would describe the green oasis nestled between towering rocky peaks.

Ghanche truly is the trekkers paradise! The very name of Ghanche is derived from Ghanche Lake, a glacial lake that powers Ghanche Nullah – the stream that powers Khaplu town!
As you walk along the stream to the source, you’ll cross lush greenery, barren rocky terrain and reach a majestic lake whose views have no comparison!
Don’t forget to blink – these views will have you spell bounded. And no matter how much it may seem like, yes this magical land is actually real!
For true lovers of the mountains, there is a new world to explore beyond Khaplu town.
Along the main Siachen road, you can travel to Chorbat valley, which is the hinterland of Ghanche district.
