Khapalu; Kghaplu
Administrative center for the Ghanche District located on an alluvial fan near the confluence of Indus and Shyok rivers.
The principal lithologies within the Khaplu area include rock units of the Karakoram and Ladakh terranes. The Main Karakoram Thrust (MKT) separates the Indian plate to the south from the Eurasian plate to the north. The Karakoram terrane is divisible into the Karakoram Metamorphic Complex, Karakoram Batholith and Karakoram Sedimentary Complex. The Ladakh terrane is divided into the granitoids of the Ladakh Batholith and the associated Ladakh volcanics.
