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]

gollark: Yes, that would be good.
gollark: It seems like the alternative to "people invest in memes from their firms" would just be to have people blindly invest in anything you flag as "going to be popular" here, which... doesn't seem better? And would actually be quite like the old days of MemeBot.
