The 'world's largest igloo cafe' has opened up in THIS Indian destination! - Prune

As the north of India is still reeling through the biting cold wave, you should take a break from work and head on a dreamy and Instagram-worthy winter vacation while it lasts. But instead of going to the usual tourist spots such as Shimla and Manali to enjoy the snow, we have a better idea for you! India now boasts an unforgettable tourist attraction that is open to visitors until the end of the cold months. Our country now boasts the world's largest igloo cafe in Gulmarg, Kashmir, which promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Having delicious food and sipping hot drinks in this man-made ice sculpture, should be on your bucket list this winter. While Gulmarg is already famous for its ski resort and cable car, now you can add an igloo cafe to the list. This stunning igloo cafe in the Himalayas serves food on 'snow tables', and features ice sculptures and carvings that complete the ambiance of this one-of-a-kind tourist attraction. The giant igloo cafe is a part of the famous Kolahoi Ski Resort, and its owner Syed Wasim Shah took the opportunity to set it up for tourists this year.

The idea comes from the experiences that exist in countries such as Switzerland. The igloo stands at a height of 37.5 feet and is 45 feet wide. It can easily accommodate up to 40 customers at a time to enjoy the stunning ambiance of the snowy property. The owner claims that it is the largest igloo cafe in the world now, with the one existing in Switzerland coming second to it. If this is true, it's a big deal for the tourism of Kashmir and for the entire country to offer such an experience to locals and tourists this winter season.

A look inside Gulmarg's new winter attraction

From the outside, it looks like a giant and beautiful igloo that you see in the pictures. But how is it like to experience it from the inside? Well, you will find an all-white ambiance as the tables and walls are made out of snow. According to the owner, it took two months to build the cafe with a 25-member team, working day and night. There are also intricate sculptures that stand in the middle of the cafe as decoration pieces. Besides these, there are beautiful patterns and carvings tastefully done throughout the interior of the icy property. So you can go all out in taking the best pictures here.

Ironically, the igloo cafe is pretty cozy too! You will not feel intolerably cold while you are inside, as the atmosphere remains warm with the help of inbuilt insulators that will keep you comfortable. And of course, freshly prepared hot food and drinks complete this experience. So if you are planning to travel to Gulmarg this season, this is the latest centre of attraction that you must experience during your visit there!
