🏔️ Gulmarg to Launch India’s Highest Glass Skywalk in 2026

📅 Published on: June 26, 2025 Category: Latest News in Travel

Get ready to walk on air — quite literally! In an exciting development for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike, Gulmarg, one of India’s most beloved mountain destinations, is set to unveil the country’s highest glass skywalk by mid-2026. Perched at an altitude of over 11,000 feet above sea level, this architectural marvel will offer visitors panoramic views of the snow-clad Pir Panjal range, deep pine valleys, and the stunning Gulmarg meadows — all under their feet!

🧊 A Walk Above the Clouds

The skywalk, made entirely of reinforced transparent glass, will be built near the Apharwat Peak area, not far from the existing gondola ride. Tourists will be able to walk across a suspended glass platform with 360-degree mountain views, creating the sensation of floating above the Himalayas.

Expected to become a major tourist attraction, the Gulmarg Skywalk will rival iconic experiences like the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge in China and the Grand Canyon Skywalk in the USA, bringing world-class adventure tourism to the heart of Kashmir.

✨ What to Expect

• Jaw-dropping views of snow-covered peaks and alpine forests

• Photography zones and selfie points with safety harnesses

• Interactive digital displays on Himalayan ecology and local culture

• Eco-friendly construction designed to preserve the natural landscape

• Seasonal lighting for magical night-time experiences in winter

The structure will be weather-resistant and accessible in multiple seasons, making it a year-round attraction for both domestic and international travelers.

📍 Why Gulmarg?

Already known for its world-class skiing slopes, luxury resorts, and Asia’s highest gondola ride, Gulmarg is Kashmir’s crown jewel. With this upcoming skywalk, the destination aims to further enhance its appeal as a hub for eco-adventure tourism, attracting younger audiences, content creators, and international explorers.
