Khaplu Valley is full of natural beauties, high-altitude mountains, lush green valleys, clear blue water, and much more. In this post, we will discuss the top 5 hidden places to visit in Khaplu Valley.
It was an exceedingly difficult decision for me to make this list because, just like me, if you know about the beautiful places in Khaplu, they are just out of this world.
I must skip many places in the list, so I placed them in another list, which you can check at the end of this article.
It is human nature that we are always trying to find and discover new things, places, and modern technologies. With this behaviour, humans discovered thousands of years-old civilisations in different countries of the world.
Even in Pakistan, historians and archaeologists discovered civilisations like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro.
There are already many tourist spots that have been discovered, and thousands of local and international tourists visit every year. But some tourist spots are still undiscovered. Whenever you Visit Khaplu must visit these beautiful places and make your trips more memorable.
These are the following tourist spots that are still undiscovered:
Thoksikhar Place
Khaplu Broq
Mashabrum Viewpoint
Kundus Chu Tron
Daholi Lake Khaplu
1- Thoksikhar Palace
If you visited Khaplu Ghanche and missed Thoqsikhar’s palace, then you will regret it for the rest of your life. Put this beautiful historical palace and mosque on your top list to visit in Khaplu Valley.
Before, it was exceedingly difficult to reach Thoksikhar Palace because of the steady mountain. Now the authorities have built easy paved stairs, which make it easy to reach there for all ages. Kids and old people can also go there to enjoy the view of Khaply Valley from the top of the mountain.
History of Thoqsikhar Palace
This 500-year-old, beautiful historical mosque is built on top of the mountain with a scenic view of Khaplu Valley.
2- Khaplu Broq
Khaplu Broq is a local word that means an agricultural area. This place, Khaplu Broq, is a hidden beauty located in the high mountains of Khaplu Ghanche. If you are visiting Khaplu Valley, you cannot miss this place.
The Khaplu Broq is a little bit far from Khaplu Valley, but you can find a clean and paved road to the main Broq area. And if you want to go to the top, there are no paved roads, but you can find adventurous roads which you will enjoy.
Khaplu Broq is now a famous hot spot for tourists in the valley. Tourists go there and stay for many days.
How To Reach Khaplu Broq?
You can reach there.
By Walk
By Car
By Tractor
Horse Riding
By Walk
A walk of almost 3 hours in the beautiful mountains can help you to reach Khaplu Broq. Among all other means to go here, this is the best and most memorable experience you can try.
By Car
You can also go there in your car, or you can get one for rent. You can also get a local tour guide with the car if you want. Car rentals are also affordable here in Khaplu.
By Tractor
This is a free and interesting way to go to Khaplu Broq. The local people of Khaplu who used to work in Khaply Broq use a tractor, and you can ask for a little help (lift) too. They will never say no to anyone who asks for help on this road.
Horse Riding
If you love horse riding, you can get one for rent in Khaplu. It will be more costly than getting a car.
3- Mashabrum Viewpoint
If you like beautiful scenic views, this place is for you.
This viewpoint is located just after Youchung Valley, Khaplu Ghanche. A place from where you can get a beautiful view of some of the world’s largest mountains, known as Gashabrum, with many other high mountains.
4- Kondus Chu Tron
Kondus Cho Tron is a magical hidden place in the remote area of Khaplu Ghanche Kondus Valley. The word Cho Tron is a local Balti word that means “Hot Water Spring”. Just like many other hot water springs around the world. One is present in the Kondus Valley, Khaplu.
The best part of this hot water spring is that it is situated in the coldest area of the region.
5- Daholi Lake Khaplu
It is quite possible that all the places which I mentioned above were visited by many tourists and local people. But I am quite sure that this beautiful place, named Daholi Lake Khaplu, is still hidden from many eyes, whether they are tourists from outside or the local Balti people.
I went to Daholi Lake 5 years ago. And it was an outstanding life experience.
