Shilla is a mountain peak close to Spiti Valley, part of the Himalaya mountains. It was previously thought to be the highest peak in Himachal, but recent updates indicate otherwise. Its peak is 6,132 metres (20,118 ft) above sea level [1][a] It is in Himachal Pradesh in Northern India. The name may be derived from: Shi = death, Shi-la = range or peak death. Other meanings locally offered are 'a place of monastery' or 'a gateway to heaven’. The Shilla peak is on the divide between Lingti and Shilla Nullah/nala.[citation needed]
