Dha-Hanu: It is located to the south west of Leh, around 163 Kms. It is the Land of the “Drok-Pa”an Indo Aryan race. In this area, you will find a number of villages. However, tourists are allowed to visit the villages of Dah and Hanu only. Being on lower altitude Dhahanu is warmer than Leh.

Then, there is the Shey monastery with a gold plated copper statue of Buddha. Alchi, Lamayuru, Likir, Spituk, Thikse, Stakana, Sankar, etc are some of the other popular monasteries in Ladakh.
Wildlife: Ladakh is home to some of the most exotic wildlife species. Several flowering plants, a dozen important mammals and over a hundred species of birds are found here in this rugged terrain. Thriving on the minimal vegetation, poor shelter, rocky terrain and bitter cold are the wild animals like Yak, Nyan, Urial, Churu, Ibex, Snow Leopard, Bharal, etc. Ladakh also plays host to a number of resident as well as migratory birds.
Leh Mosque: It was constructed under the threat of military action by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb which prompted King Deldan Namgyal to build the mosque in 1661.
