Gulmarg, a hill station in Kashmir, has a new attraction for tourists – a glass igloo restaurant located amid snow-covered mountains. Kolahoi Green Heights, a hotel in Gulmarg, has claimed to have developed the first glass igloo restaurant in the valley, building on their success of earlier creating the valley’s first snow-covered restaurant.
Tourists can be seen flocking around the glass igloos in the region. They enjoy their meals and take photographs in this glass-wall restaurant.
In 2020, the hotel made the biggest Igloo in Asia, followed by the biggest Igloo in the world in 2021. Now in the current winter, they made a glass igloo, which is the first such igloo in the Kashmir valley.
Mesmerizing Glass Igloo Restaurant!
Hamid Masoudi, Hotel Manager, said, “We took this concept from Finland and built three igloos in the courtyard of our hotel which was not seen anywhere before. Then we also built three igloos at phase one of Gulmarg which are very much appreciated by the visitors here.”
He further said that an imported fabricated material has been used for this unique igloo. This unique glass-fronted restaurant keeps the interior heat insulated as well as offers the best views.
“Eight people can sit in it at a time in each of these glass igloos. We are trying to give a different kind of experience to tourists,” Masoudi added.
Sayakh, a Tourist to snow-covered Kashmir shared that he had come to the Kashmir Valley and wanted to spend time in Gulmarg and the glass igloo restaurant elevated his overall experience during his trip.
The tourist said, “Sitting in it felt like I was peering through the window of heaven. It doesn’t seem so cold as well in this glass-enclosed restaurant. The view outside with a cup of coffee and this unique experience, I consider myself lucky.”
