Beat the heat with India's First Igloo Stay in Manali

Still contemplating vacation plans while sitting inside air-conditioned rooms and wondering whether the hills are really calling you?.

The heat and warm (read hot) breeze are reasons enough for anyone to pack their bags and head towards their favourite hill stations to get some respite from the heat.

But, before you plan your trip and settle for something substandard, here's what you need to know. Since time immemorial, our favourite movies have been a subject of envy, primarily because of the unrealistic travel goals they set in front of us. Well, don't be jealous since Manali is offering you the ultimate chance to tick off one goal from your bucket list – staying inside an igloo.

Don't pinch your arm or rub your eyes in disbelief because the Keylinga Hotel in Manali has helped make everyone's dream to stay in an igloo, come true.

Travel towards Kullu Valley and you will see these igloos welcoming you with open arms, and they can easily accommodate two people. However, this is not the best part. What's even more exciting is that you can build your own igloo and there are no points for guessing how amazing the experience will be.

The hotel's site reads, “Enjoy a single night in an igloo with all meals. Skiiing, snowboarding and other winter activities available too.” So how much does one need to shell out for a night? Well, if you don't want to participate in any activities, you will have to pay Rs. 4,600 and if you take up activities then it can go up to Rs. 5,600. The Manali Igloo Stay was started by Vikas Kumar and Tashi Dorje.
