Ladakh is situated in the north-west of India, on the western-most side of the Himalayas.  Historically,  a number of different cultures have gathered in this part of India.

Since the beginning of the tenth century AD, this area has been a bastion of Tibetan Buddhist culture. Hence, it is often refered to as 'Little Tibet.' Although tourists find their way to famous monasteries in Ladakh, not many of them are aware of the existence of nunneries.

LNA continues to try to raise the awareness of visitors to ladakh to the presence of nuns!
