IGLOO-INDIA'S 1ST SNOW HOUSE

India's first Igloo hotel has been opened in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh, a few kilometers from central Manali Nestled in the laps of Hamta valley. Built on a unique concept to the Greenland and Arctic regions.

Igloo is a shelter made up of blocks of ice placed on top of each other. If you think about how you can stay in such a cold room, do not worry. Igloo is made by looking after your concern. Igloo is hot from inside because ice is a big insulator of heat.

You may not believe it but inside an igloo, the temperature is usually around 32 degrees,  rarely with the people inside having too much cold. The temperature can be further increased by using candles, bonfires, or more people around. A heated bed system and hot water bottles are present to keep the heat inside. But the use of a bonfire or electric heater inside the igloo is prohibited

One can enjoy bonfires, barbecue, food, adventure activities, skiing, and snowboarding lessons. You can also explore the snowy mountains to do and even make your igloo. isn't  crazy
