During the Qing Dynasty the Chinese claimed suzerainty over the area but permitted the Mir of Hunza to administer the region in return for a tribute. The Mir erected a cairn in the village to evidence his control. The villagers stopped paying tribute to Hunza in 1937.
It is the northernmost point claimed by India as a part of the state Jammu and Kashmir.
