Gharkone Homestay
Nestled along the lower Indus, Garkone is a beautiful settlement inhabited by the Brokpa tribe. It is an Indo-Aryan race with a unique culture. The village also is rich in variety of fruits such as apricots, pears, grapes and many other fruits. The best time to visit is during the Apricot blossom time in April. An offbeat destination in Ladakh which remains unexplored even today.
