Royal House of Yabgo Dynasty Tourism

The Royal House of Yabgo Dynasty is situated in Turtuk, a village in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. Turtuk was part of Baltistan and was only opened to tourists in 2010 after being a restricted area. The Yabgo Dynasty ruled over Baltistan for centuries and their legacy can be seen in the form of the Royal House, which has now been converted into a museum. The ancestral home of the Yabgo kings showcases various artifacts, traditional clothing, and items that offer a glimpse into the history and culture of this region. Visitors can admire the fine woodwork and architecture of the house, which is reflective of the indigenous building style. Turtuk, nestled in the northernmost part of India, is one of the last villages before the Line of Control between India and Pakistan. The village itself is a picturesque place, with lush green fields, apricot trees, and the Shyok River flowing nearby. The unique culture of the Balti people, their language, traditions, and cuisine, makes this a fascinating place to visit.
