Dah Hanu

Dah, or Dha, and Hanu are two villages of the Brokpa of the LehDistrict of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. They are the only two villages that tourists are allowed to visit out of a number of Brokpa villages. The Dard people of Dah Hanu are nominally Buddhist but also worship their own animist pantheon of gods. They have an Indo-European appearance in contrast to the predominant Tibeto-Mongol inhabitants of most of Ladakh. "Some households still practice polyandry...it is the groom who pays the bride price. Women have rights of divorce."
