Not too high, Turtuk has many types of trees that grow well such as peach, apple, apricot or grape. Especially in April, the apricot blossom season in Ladakh attracts a large number of visitors.
During the flowering season every year, the Leh tourism department regularly organizes the plum blossom festival in Turtuk to promote tourism and make Ladakh a place that can be visited all year round.
In Turtuk, most houses have apricot trees in their gardens and they harvest them to eat, dry or make jam. The famous apricot variety here is called "Rakstey Karpo". Vietnamese tourists shared that they bought many apricots as souvenirs after the trip.
