What is Mesmerizing in Ladakh :-
• Monasteries: these would take large numbers of the monks and nuns and thus keep the population at a stable level.
• Polyandry: a practice where one woman marries all the brothers of a family to prevent the family's land from being divided, was common in both Ladakh and Tibet until well into the 20th century.
• Primogeniture: a system where the inheritance after a man's death (primarily the land) would pass to his oldest son in order to keep farms large enough to support a family.
• Khang Bu: the little house to which the father and mother would retire once their eldest son married and took over the management of the farm, inheriting the main house along with it.
• Marmots are common; you can even sometimes see them from the road, although they don't look different enough to the marmots common to other mountainous areas of the world to be of much interest.
• There are also plenty of voles, hares, and several types of Pikas.
