Dha-Hanu, is an exquisite place of tourist attraction located around 163 kilometers to the South-West of Leh. Dha and Hanu, 'The Land of Aryans,' are the only two villages in this area open for tourists. The distinct feature here is the existence of the Drok-pa community who are Buddhists by faith and ideology but ethically and racially diverse from rest of the Ladahkis. Their religious practices are similar to the pre-Buddhist animist religion, known as Bon-Chos unlike Buddhism practiced in the other parts of Ladakh.
The history behind it being called 'The Land of Aryans' is that thousands of years ago the Drok-pa community had migrated to this region from Central Asia via Gilgit. They are considered to be the last race of the Aryans and have pure Indo Aryan features distinct from the features of other Ladakhis.
Apart from physical, religious and cultural diversities from rest of Ladakh, the villages are also famous for fruits such as apples, grapes, walnuts and apricots.
