The artificial Ice stupa was demonstrated in Thangu Village during November 2019. Previously, Department of Science and Technology, GoS has successfully developed a prototype of Ice Stupa at Thangu, North Sikkim in the winter month of 2018-2019 with the support of UNDP. In short, the demonstration of Ice Stupa is an experiment that could be generalize for reglaciation of the glacier and the success of the project can open up the new avenue of reglaciation of selected glacier in natural condition. The principle behind the formation of ice in the selected site is the breaking of water droplets from sprinkle system to small nuclei which gets frozen when it comes in contact with open freezing environment that accumulates to give structure of the cone that resembles Ice Stupa.
