Dah Hanu

Dah Hanu

Dah Hanu is the main village of the Brokpa of the Ladakh District of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Dards of Dah Hanu are nominally Buddhist but also worship their own Pantheon of gods. They have an Indo-European appearance in contrast to the predominant Tibeto-Mongol inhabitants of most of Ladakh.

Dha and Hanu are two villages situated in the Dhahanu valley, about 163 km southwest of Leh in Ladakh. Being on lower altitude Dhahanu is warmer than Leh.
