Jonny is joined by Altaf Chapri, a hotelier in Srinagar and a friend of Wild Frontiers, and they discuss security in the valley and why it is advised against visiting (despite tourists being safe for many years). He runs Qayaam Gah and the Sukoon Houseboat in Srinagar and speaks about his love of Kashmir and the serenity and spiritual experience of staying on houseboats. They also discuss Wild Frontiers' High Road to Kashmir group tour itinerary and its unmissable highlights, including Ladakh, Leh and Srinagar.
