The recovery undertaken by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture took five years to finish. The project was endorsed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture via its Historic Cities Support Programme, in Addition to the Getty Grant Program (USA), the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation along with the French Authorities. The Fort, resplendent in its glory, is operated by the Baltit Heritage Trust and is open for public. The Baltit Fort functions as a great entity of culture maintained and restored for future generations.
