Munshi Aziz Bhat Museum of Central Asian and Kargil Trade Artifacts

A family-operated, Public Museum dedicated to preserving the life and legacy of Munshi Aziz Bhat - A Silk Route trader, pioneer, visionary, social entrepreneur, collector, patriot, husband and father. Our museum offers anyone who visits, a rare glimpse into the Indian and Central Asian trader culture of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Through its collection of artifacts and mercantile items, the museum exhibits the range of goods and services that were transported on the many maritime and overland trajectories of the Silk Routes. Apart from the commerce, the Silk Route memorabilia at the museum is an enduring peek into the lives of the many merchants, horsemen, herders, pilgrims, artisans, nomads and farmers who traversed these trader routes and evolved a culture that saw its ultimate demise with the growth of mechanized trade and reorganization of boundaries in the post-independence era.

Balti Heritage House and Museum

This heritage house is around 140 years old and it has been converted into a museum which showcases old traditional attires, heirlooms, antiques and more

Reviewed By Lovers_paradise

The Balti Heritage Home in Turtuk is one of the heritage homes where several generations have lived for centuries. It’s built in an old style with low-height roofs, very small windows to avoid cold air coming in during winters and storage rooms in the basement. You can see several arms, dishes, royal gifts, dresses, furs dating 400 years back inside the house. The entrance cost to the museum is 50 rupees. There are four small rooms which you can explore in ten minutes. Nevertheless, there is an extra value if any of the family members can explain to you what you see. There are presents from kings of the land, some old technology of cooking and several other interesting facts. The Balti Heritage Home is in the upper part of the village. There is a rooftop restaurant where you can try Balti cuisine.
