“Not all those who bicycle are lost.”
Anyone who has visited Ladakh will remember the hilarious roadsigns the government has set up for tourists along the way. And for those of you who haven’t seen them, here are just a few examples.
The Wandering Nomads
Two bikes, one life, and the whole world to see
The Wandering Nomads 
Great way to get tourists attention. So you can drive on whisky, but it is risky 🙂 Reminds me of all mr. J´s signs on Koh Tao, like this one: “Mr. J´s condoms (home made) the best, buy 10 get 1 free, 20 years guarantee”. What is GAMA and HIMANK.
Haha that’s hilarious a! I have no idea what gama is which makes the sign all the better. I think himank is something to do with the road crew in Ladakh, but I could be wrong!
Gama was one of the most famous wrestler in Indian folklore ! Check this – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gama !
Awesome! That makes a lot more sense now.
Awesome pictures, nice adventure! About Gama i think is about a portuguese explorer, being the first European to reach India by sea.
We got two different answers for him now! The other was a popular wrestler, I have to say I may vote for the wrestler one due to the rest of the meaning of the sign.. Who knows though!
Hi,
Fantastic collection and beautifully documented. I would be interested to share these signs with due credit to you. I work in filed of road safety so would love to spread a word about these.
Thanks !
Yes you may!
