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.
