An Unforgettable Stay in the Majestic Mountains!
I recently had the opportunity to embark on an incredible stay at the Border Cafe and Camp Turtuk located in the stunning Siachen mountains. It was an experience that left me breathless and filled with unforgettable memories. Here's why this camp deserves the highest praise:
Firstly, the location of the camp is simply awe-inspiring. Nestled amidst the towering peaks and on a bank on River Shyok, it offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene surroundings create a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities.
What truly sets this camp apart is the knowledge of Owner, Mr Farooq Salman. He is very passionate about sharing love for the Siachen mountains and stories around them. The camp facilities were top-notch as well. The accommodations were cozy, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a much-needed respite after a 8 hour drive from Leh.

The village located above mountain and hidden from outside or National Highway. We have to take a detour and to walk 300M to reach the village. It is simply a hidden treasure at the border located near shyaok river and in himalayan mountains. The village is also historically very important. Visiting the place will definitely change your mindset about mountain village and border life. It will also question our thoughts about religion, countries, borders etc. A best place to relax...

ย ย ย Read moreWe stayed at Tyakshi border view Cafe and camp, Turtuk on 14th May 2023. We were a group of 10 and will tell you that the tents are very comfortable with good, neat and clean attached baths. We reached the camp by 4pm and were treated to a refreshing khawa and some snacks. A special mention here for Mr Farooqui who is also the owner of the unit. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. He even took us on a small trail to the shyok River, telling us a lot about the place and the local people. The food was yummy and hot. They also had organized a bon fire to keep us warm in the cold weather. They provided hot water in buckets for the needs. The place was between two mountains and along the river - amazing views. In short it was a pleasant stay made even better by Mr Farooqui. Thank you Would recommend anyone to stay there...
