The mountainside monasteries of Ladakh house Buddhist schools. In Ladakhi families, it is often the second child who takes holy orders.

The schools contribute to maintaining the culture of Tibetan Buddhism. The school of the Chulichen Nunnery is home to young girls. In Chulichen, the girls wear saffron robes and all signs of femininity disappear. In the remotest villages, polyandry has always been practiced. Here a woman can have several husbands at the same time.
