With the situation in Kashmir being quite uncertain, I figured it would be more cautious to explore some parts of Jammu instead. So I went halfway back and branched off into the mountains of Jammu and ended up discovering one of the nicest roads I've ever ridden in India. Especially for a motorcyclist.
Himalayan Wanderer Rahul also came and joined me on his Royal Enfield Himalayan to show me around his side of the country.
