The Forest and Tourism Department constructed the Glass Skywalk Bridge. It was built by Ghazipur-based Pawan Sut Construction Company. The waterfall in the Markundi range that serves as the foundation for the Glass Sky Walk Bridge was originally known as Shabri Waterfall.

Last year, the state government renamed it Tulsi Water Falls in honour of Goswami Tulsidas' birthplace in Rajapur, as well as Lord Shri Ram's shrine.

According to Ranger Nadeem Mohammed, the bridge in the shape of a bow and arrow measures 25 metres in length towards the ditch and 35 metres in width between the two pillars. The bridge's load capacity will be 500 kilograms per square metre.
