Turtuk Tour Packages

Turtuk, located at the edge of India, is known as the last village in the Northern region and is situated in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh, close to the Line of Control (LoC). For decades, this quaint village has been inaccessible to tourists and only since 2010 has it opened its doors for guests from all over the world. The village is one of the last inhabited regions before the Pakistan border and is part of the Balti cultural landscape. The significance of this destination lies not just in its geography, but also in its story lost in time. Turtuk was part of Pakistan until the 1971 war, after which it was annexed by India and became part of it. Today, Turtuk stands as a peaceful destination that is driven primarily by tourism and agriculture, particularly its delicious apricots and walnuts. 

With Veena World’s Turtuk vacation packages, guests can explore this beautiful settlement while learning about its complex history and rich traditions, all accompanied by our expert tour managers who ensure hassle-free travel, leaving all your worries behind and allowing you to immerse yourself in enjoying your vacation.

Here are some must-do experiences on your trip: 

Explore the village and meet with locals

Walking through the narrow stone lanes in Turtuk is like entering a storybook. The locals (who are mainly Muslim) are warm and welcoming, eager to share tales of their unique Balti heritage and being part of Pakistan before the 1971 war. With Veena World’s Turtuk travel packages, you can immerse yourself in this authentic village life with ease and comfort. 

Visit the Turtuk Museum 

The small yet fascinating Turtuk Museum, curated by a local teacher, carefully houses ancient tools, ornaments, traditional clothing, and photographs that bring you closer to understanding Baltistani culture. A must-visit on your Turtuk holiday tour package, the museum offers insights into the village’s transformation post-1971. 

See the Shyok River up close 

The beautiful, pristine turquoise waters of the Shyok River flow peacefully through the Turtuk valley and witnessing its pristine beauty is a highlight of any Turtuk holiday tour package. With Veena World’s carefully curated itineraries, you will get ample time to relax by the riverside and capture picture-perfect, beautiful memories. 

Taste the famous Apricots  

Turtuk is renowned for producing some of the sweetest apricots in the Ladakh region, known as Halman apricots. Visit during the harvest season and your tour to Turtuk will become even more delightful. Guests can even take home dried apricots, a signature gift from the village. 

Trek to the waterfalls and viewpoints 

For the adventure-loving souls, short treks to nearby waterfalls and viewpoints offer stunning panoramic views of the valley. These excursions are often included in Customized Holidays to suit the preferences of guests looking for a mix of culture and nature. 

Best Time to Visit Turtuk 

The best time to plan a holiday in the Ladakh region is between May and September, when the weather is pleasant and the roads to the Nubra Valley are open. During these months, the temperature ranges between 10°C and 25°C, allowing guests to explore the picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage without disruption. 

Summers offer clear skies, warm days and blooming apricot orchards, making it the ideal season for exploring the region. Monsoons are rare in this high-altitude region, but brief showers can bring out the vibrant greens of the valley, making it a picturesque sight. July and August are particularly beautiful, and this is when most Turtuk holiday tour packages see peak interest. September, just before the onset of winter, offers a peaceful retreat with fewer crowds and a tranquil charm.
