Ladakh ( 10/15) is in rain shadow area with scant rainfall & a strong Sun, necessitating the need of shade even on the coldest day if you want to avoid sunburn. I strongly believe wherever there is an umbrella there is a photograph. An umbrella in rain can create magic and umbrella in sun can create shade. Many roadside dhabas ( and there are not too many ) in Ladakh have open-air seating with just a tent or as in this case just a large Jugaad of an umbrella protecting you from the strong sun. And in case you are not an Indian you can go to desi Traveler blog and search for it. Just to make the importance of Jugaad clear, Jugaad has been entered now in the Oxford English dictionary :) That is the power of desi Jugaad, my friends. . . . . . .. .. . . . #Ladakh #tent #dhaba #desi_diaries #ladakhdiaries #smilesofindia #streetsofindia #Highwaysofindia #travelrealindia #incredibleindia #cntgiveitashot #bbctravel #everydayindia #streetsofindia #_coi #colorsofindia #julley #adventure #roadtrip #desiTraveler #discover_india #jugaad #isbtraveler (at Pangong Tso)
