New Delhi: One of the most popular winter destinations in India – Gulmarg has added tw omajor attractions for tourists this season, marking a significant leap in both adventure tourism and high-altitude hospitality. Apharwat Peak, known for its powdery slopes, is home to the world’s highest revolving restaurant, perched at 14,000 feet.

Not only the world’s highest restaurant, but it has also introduced Asia’s longest ski drag lift, reinforcing Gulmarg’s standing as one of the most dynamic winter destinations to travel and have first-hand experience. The developments play a key role in Gulmarg’s reputation as one of the prime locations in India for tourism as per international standards.

Panoramic views of the snow-covered mountains, chill air, and a unique concept of a revolving restaurant launched in Gulmarg are some of the mesmerising add-ons to this hottest tourist spot. Imagine sipping hot kahwa or enjoying Kashmiri cuisine while looking at those breathtaking views. The cosy cafe revolves 360 degrees, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan landscape to diners.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday threw open Asia’s longest ski drag lift at the famous skiing resort of Gulmarg. Along with that, he also inaugurated the world’s highest revolving multi-purpose hall at the Affarwat area in the resort, which also houses a restaurant, they said.

Abdullah said the ski drag lift at Kongdori in Gulmarg, in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, will significantly enhance skiing infrastructure in the resort and strengthen its standing on the international winter sports map.

The drag list is expected to transform the way skiers approach Gulmarg, especially intermediate skiers, for seeking longer, smoother ascents.

Gulamrg is one of the hottest destinations to attract travellers from across the world, and with this breaking record milestone, it has yet again proved to be the best for hosting more tourists this year.
