History and tradition

Thagas is on the way from the centres of Baltistan, such as Skardu and Khaplu, to the Saltoro Pass, which was a traditional trade route to Kashgar. A mosque traditionally attributed to Shah-e-Hamadan is found at Thagas, which is said to have built by him while on his way to Kashgar.[1]
