Khaltse or
Khalsi is a village in the
Leh district of
Jammu and Kashmir,
India. It is located in the
Khalsi tehsil, 337 km from
Srinagar on the old main road to
Leh, where it crossed the Indus over an iron bridge. Much of its importance is because it is the place where the road from Kashmir debouches into the Indus Valley. Close by are the remains of an old fortified customs house.
