BALTISTAN JEEP SAFARI:
Baltistan
Jeep safari travels along the Karakoram Highway; along the narrow gorge of River
Indus. Baltistan was one of the oldest Himalayans kingdoms before being
incorporated with Pakistan. It lies deep in the heart of Karakoram Mountains. To
the North, its border is China, to the east Ladakh, Kashmir is to the south and
the Gilgit-Hunza region in the west. Skardu is the capital city of Baltistan and
is the historic base of many voyages of exploration and expeditions to the
mountains in the region of Karakoram. Skardu is high altitude desert, bisected
by the mighty Indus River flow out of Tibet and, swollen by the icy waters of
many glaciers streams, rushes down through Ladakh and Baltistan, carving deep
and narrow gorges between the high mountain ranges of Karakoram and Himalaya.
The spirit of Baltistan, however, is the Balti People & their culture. The
Balti people speak an ancient form of Tibetan and have a strong and fascinating
culture. A journey to Baltistan is a unique opportunity to meet Balti people and
to see some of the highest mountains not only in Baltistan, but also in the
world.
