Geography


The two villages Yogma Hanu and Goma Hanu lie in the Hanu valley, which runs between the Chorbat La pass and the Indus River valley near Dah. The Hanu mountain stream flows down the valley jointing the Indus. To the north of the Chorbat La pass, the Chorbat Lungpa river flows north to join the Shyok river near Hassanabad Chorbat. The Chorbat La pass is considered the traditional boundary between Baltistan and Ladakh. According to geographer Frederick Drew, the valleys of Chorbat Lungpa and Hanu constituted the main route from Baltistan to Ladakh in the past. The two villages Goma Hanu and Yogma Hanu are fortified, indicating that they experienced raids from Baltistan in the past.[4]
