The project forms part of Meghalaya’s broader push to promote experiential tourism, where food, design and destination come together. Officials associated with the initiative say the restaurant is designed to attract both domestic and out-of-state travelers.
The structure uses reinforced glass panels and steel framing to ensure safety while maintaining uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and greenery.
