Chumathang is a Hot water spring situated on the banks of the Indus river. Chumathang village is located on road between Leh and Tsomoriri Lake.
Our driver Dorjey shows us the road going towards Manali which we were planning to visit next day. We reached Leh in evening and took some rest. We visited Leh Mall road in evening and took some Apricot Jams and had Dinner in restaurant.
We were invited by ITBP Jawan friends for breaktfast. As soon as we reached their camp at Korzok we were welcomed by Hot chai and some biscuits. One thing to notice was the Jawans belonging to different states were more welcoming for their respective state person. It seems they felt they have met one amongst their family members who spoke same language as theirs. After having some Dalia, Maggie, chocolates and some dry fruits we headed towards Leh. We were so tired that we were wishing to reach Leh as soon as possible. In between we stopped at Chumathang hot water spring. We went to banks of river to enjoy some hot water and clicked few pictures.

This day was reserved day if something went wrong in our trip. But as everything went good we decided to have a bike ride towards Manali.
We came to know about a Ice Stupa on Manali highway.
We hit road and soon reached Rancho's school which got famous after 3 Idiots movie. It was time for some adventure so we took some offroad towards deserted mountains.
Ice stupa Cafe is a nice cafe in Stupa made of snow. Basically Ice Stupa is a technique developed by Sonam Wangchuk for preserving water for Spring as Ladakh faces shortage of water during this season. Water is pushed through pipe from height where it snows and it is connected to a fountain like structure. Due to low temperature conditions this fountain eventually turns into a Stupa like structure which melts slowly during Spring season thus providing water in spring too.
After chilling out a Ice stupa we returned to Leh, has dinner and went to sleep.
This was my journey which we completed in 8 Days with minimum budget.
