Hello friends,
Jullay! It has been a long time that I wrote to you about our Project Ice Stupa. I am happy to let you all you know that Zanskar Ice Stupa was a great success. It last till 1st of July. Our boys are so proud that they could build a 72 feet’s tall first Ice Stupa in Zanskar valley.
This artificial glacier - the Ice Stupa has made its best contribution for our farmers ploughing their field during the months April-May and keep giving water to the fields up to 1st of July 2019. But of course, the need for water is so large that they need to be built more on a much larger scale and maybe it will be a good idea to build a water dam that it can store the water for a longer period.
As you all know that unfortunately, we could not build more than 72 feet’s as the source water was finished mid of January. It is amazing to see the other ice stupa in Ladakh are still more than 40 feet tall and they are hoping to cross whole summer.
Of course, making artificial glaciers is not easy work. Its need both finical and manpower support. I am happy we could introduce this project in Zanskar valley for the first time, our people are very happy and appreciate a lot.
Our main idea was to show our people about Ice Stupa and actually it was a pilot project. I hope we will have more ice stupa in Zanskar valley in the coming years. I cannot add more than one picture on this page. So I will add on facebook some more pictures please follow this page
