Key Facts

Pangi is a remote and mountainous tehsil (sub-district) located in the northernmost part of Chamba district within the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Situated in the rugged and isolated terrain of the Western Himalayas, Pangi lies along the border with Jammu and Kashmir, nestled within the deep valleys carved by the Chandra and Bhaga rivers which converge to form the Chenab River. This high-altitude region covers approximately 1,600 square kilometers of challenging mountainous landscape, with elevations ranging from 2,000 to over 6,000 meters above sea level. Pangi is administratively divided into several gram panchayats and villages, with its main administrative center at Killar. Known for its extreme weather conditions and heavy snowfall that often isolates the region for months during winter, Pangi remains one of the most inaccessible areas in Himachal Pradesh, accessible primarily through treacherous mountain passes like the Sach Pass. The region is home to a sparse population of around 20,000 people, primarily belonging to indigenous communities who maintain traditional lifestyles and cultural practices.
