India has many marvels that travelers from far away love to see more than once. India welcomes tourists with open arms every year to its beautiful destinations. One such well-known destination is Kashmir.

Kashmir is the most beautiful valley in India. It has mountains, is covered in beautiful white snow throughout the year, and is inhabited by the friendliest Indian citizens. But what makes tourists visit this valley, again and again, is the Igloo Café in Gulmarg, it’s a new creative and innovative café owned and created by Mr. Wasim Shah. This article will talk more about this place and the idea behind it. Tourists welcome to incredible India.

All about the Igloo Café

It is the first-ever snow café in Kashmir. Even though the café is wholly built out of snow, it’s warm inside since snow is an insulator of cold, so the tourists, locals, and travelers don’t need to worry about shivering inside.

Indians proudly believe that this 22 feet wide and 13 feet high café will enter the Limca book of world records as the broadest Igloo Café in Asia. At once, it can hold up to 16 guests inside. While there, they can enjoy the snowy Gulmarg slopes. Fun fact, it took almost 25 days to build this wonder of Kashmir.

This café is made entirely out of snow, the chairs and tables too, but what about the centerpiece? Yes, the reader guessed it, snow. The door to the café is wholly arched, and the walls are decorated with various designs and patterns. Visitors are served different delicious hot food and beverages, which they can enjoy with the outside view.

The owner of this café hopes that this café will become famous one day, and more and more tourists, citizens, and locals will visit this café during their holidays in Gulmarg, Kashmir.

The idea behind the café

The owner of this café has an interesting story behind how this café came into existence. The creative person said that during the building of the house where the owner lives in Srinagar, heavy snowfall occurred and covered the place. That’s how the idea was born.

After hours of challenging research on the internet, the owner built the Igloo Café in Gulmarg, Kashmir. It is a humble request to tourists to visit this place during their holidays and glorify it with their presence.
