Chaqchan Mosque

Khaplu, Pakistan

The Chaqchan Mosque (lit. 'The Miraculous Mosque') is a Sufi Noorbakshia mosque, located in the city of Khaplu, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Dating from 1370, the mosque is one of the oldest in the region, from the time when the area's populace converted en masse from Tibetan Buddhism to Islam. The mosque shares similar architecture as those built in the Kashmir Valley. It features a blend of Tibetan, Mughal and Persian styles of architecture.
