Historically, Taksi was part of Baltistan under the rule of the Yabgo Dynasty and was integrated into Indian territory following the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
Like its neighboring villages, Taksi retains a strong Balti identity—rooted in a blend of Tibetan, Persian, and Central Asian traditions.
The village represents a peaceful fusion of Islamic spirituality and Himalayan lifestyle, showcasing centuries-old customs that continue to thrive amid isolation.
