Ice Stupa

Special

In Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region, locals build artificial glaciers to freeze, store water

Each ice stupa holds thousands of gallons of water, providing communities with a freshwater source during dry seasons
Idea is inspired by a similar initiative in India’s Ladakh Valley, a region nestled between Greater Himalayan and Karakoram ranges
