Gulmarg: We have heard about and been to ‘Ice Bars’ in the city where everything is made of ice. But here is the real thing! An igloo cafe in Kashmir’s Gulmarg ski resort, where tourists can chill out. It serves hot food and drink on tables made of ice and snow.

Staff at Kolahoi Green Heights hotel took inspiration from Arctic shelters and added a few local touches, an arched door and patterns on the curved walls, The Indian Express (TIE) reported.

The long-running conflict in the Himalayan region has hit Kashmir’s once-booming leisure industry. But crowds still come to its snow-bound slopes ever winter.

The igloo, 26 feet around and 15 feet high, holds four tables with enough room for 16 guests.
