Baltistan (Baltiyul, Nang-mgon, Palolo) |
|
|
|
A kingdom in the Karakoram mountains lying athwart the
Line of Demarcation between India and Pakistan in northern Kashmir. The
chief town is Skardu, 95 miles (153 km.) north-northeast of Srinagar (the
capital of Kashmir), and 191 miles (307 km.) northeast of Islamabad (the
capital of Pakistan). The terrain is rugged in the extreme - K2 (Chogo-ri),
the world's second highest mountain, sits just along the northern perimeter
of Balti territory. The place is ancient; Claudius Ptolemy refers to it (as
Byaltae) in his Geographos, written in the 2nd century CE. |
