The Skardu region was part of the cultural sphere of Buddhist Tibet as early as the founding of the Tibetan Empire under Songtsen Gampo in the mid 7th-century CE.[5] Tibetan tantric scriptures were found all over Baltistan until about the 9th century.[5] Given the region's close proximity, Skardu remained in contact with tribes near Kashgar, in what is now China's westernmost province of Xinjiang.[9]
Following the dissolution of Tibetan suzerainty over Baltistan around the 9th–10th century CE, Baltistan came under the control of the local Maqpon Dynasty, a dynasty of Turkic extraction,[5] which according to local tradition, is said to have been founded after a migrant from Kashmir named Ibrahim Shah married a local princess.[5]
