Khaplu Palace, also known as Yabgo Khar, is an ancient fort and palace nestled in the picturesque town of Khaplu in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Built in 1840 by the Yabgo Raja Daulat Ali Khan, this architectural gem showcases a blend of Tibetan, Kashmiri, Ladakhi, Balti, and Central Asian influences. After undergoing a restoration project from 2005 to 2011, the palace now serves as a hotel operated by Serena Hotels and features a museum highlighting the rich history and culture of Baltistan. With its stunning mountain views and intricate craftsmanship, Khaplu Palace is a must-visit destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike.
