Tolti (Urdu: and Balti: طولتی) is a city that serves as the administrative capital of Kharmang District, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. It means "Little Tibet".[1] The village lies on the left bank of the Indus, and is approximately 35 km south-east of the confluence of the Indus from the Shayok. It is today by a well-paved road that runs along the left bank of the Indus slightly from Skardu to reach out.

History

Shortly after Tolti starts today a southern exclusion zone, so that from here onward travel after the Kharmang a few kilometers away.
