'''Hanu''' (also called '''Hanoo''') is a [[village panchayat]] in the [[Leh district]] of [[Ladakh]], [[India]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Blockwise Village Amenity Directory |publisher=Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council 2014–15 |url=http://leh.nic.in/depts/villageamenitydirectory.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180403131559/https://leh.nic.in/depts/villageamenitydirectory.pdf |archive-date=3 April 2018}}</ref> It consists of two villages, Yogma Hanu (Lower Hanu) and Goma Hanu (Upper Hanu), a few miles to the north, in the '''Hanu valley''' below the [[Chorbat La]] pass.
The villages form part of the [[Khalatse|Khalsi]] [[tehsil]].

==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, Leh|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|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.<ref name=Drew>{{harvp|Drew, The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories|1875|pp=263–264}}: "The Chorbat Pass is the boundary of Baltistan in this direction; by this road also used to come Balti raiders, as the remains of a fort at Yogma Hanū prove, which the people of the valley had put up against them."</ref>

== Demographics ==
According to the [[2011 census of India]], Hanoo has 224 households. The effective literacy rate (i.e. the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) is 47.69%.<ref name="census_2011"/>
