In this episode of Highway On My Podcast, Rocky, Mayur, Abhinandan, and Prashant reminisce about their travels through #JammuandKashmir from back when #Ladakh was a part of the erstwhile state.
The journey kicks off with a visit to a high altitude warfare training school to experience the harsh training that soldiers go through to survive the difficult terrains in #Siachen and other high altitude posts. The gang talk about their visit to a winter training school in Gulmarg where Rocky was “rescued” in a mock operation by the army from a three-foot cavity of snow. Rocky says he survived his 3-5 minutes under the snow thanks to his “veins of steel and dashing good looks”.
They then move to Pahalgam, where they stay at a not-so-great hotel. However, they have a very special breakfast next to the gushing Lidder river, eating Lavasa, a type of Kashmiri bread, with hot tea in crisp sunlight. Jammu and Kashmir is the land of breads, Mayur says, and they bake 13 to 14 different kinds.
