 Beautiful Baltistan Pictures
Beautiful Baltistan
The people of Khaplu are the most beautiful, friendly and spiritual people I have ever met!
In local Balti language, Deosai is called Byarsa, meaning ‘summer place’. The plateau is located at the boundary of the Karakorum and the western Himalayas.
Huge old trees, fresh air, bright blue sky surround you, while water runs from the streams, and awe-inspiring mountains dominate the horizon. To me, it was these sights and surreal surroundings that characterised breathtaking Baltistan.
