Pangi Hills

Pangi is a tehsil of Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India. The Pangi Valley is a poorly developed tribal area, as well as one of the most remote areas in Himachal Pradesh state. The Pangi Valley is divided into the sural bhatori ,hudan bhatori kumar bhatori hilu tuwaan bhatori and chasag bhatori.Bhatori valleys, which are inhabited at elevations of 7,000 feet (2,100 m) to 11,000 feet (3,400 m) above sea level. The Valley is bordered by Padder, Jammu and Kashmir in North, Lahaul and Spiti in West and Chamba in Southeast. The Sach Pass at the elevation of 4,414m is the only route connecting Pangi with District headquarter Chamba.People are said to have arrived in the valley thousands of years ago.There are only folk tales and stories indicating human presence in the valley. Local legend has it that the Raja of Chamba would cover the funeral expenses of government officials who were making their trip to Pangi Valley for official business. There was no certainty that they would return because of the great isolation.[1] It is also said that the King of Chamba exiled criminals to the other side of the Sach Pass, where they eventually established civilization. It is also said that during Mughal attacks, Rajput warriors sent their families into the Himalayan high valleys to protect them, but after they were defeated and killed, their families stayed and populated the region. One theory holds that people from lower Chenab came here in search of agricultural land.The Sansari Checkpoint marks the start of the Pangi Valley. Luj is the valley's first village, located at an elevation of 2,400 metres (7,900 ft). The Dharwas village follows, followed by the villages of , Anch, Chaloli, and Sural. Killar, the headquarters of Pangi valley is located at an elevation of 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) along the Chandrabhaga river (Chenab). The villages kulal Mindhal, Phindru, Sach, Purthi, and Shaor follow. The valley of Lahaul begins after TindiRoads are poor, with few of them surfaced. The Saach Pass at an altitude of 14,500 feet (4,400 m) is open for vehicular traffic between mid-June and October, but closed by heavy snow at other times of the year.[2] Pangi is accessible by vehicle all year round via Paddar Valley (Jammu & Kashmir) but it's a long route as one has to go to Jammu and from there to Paddar along the Chenab river valley.The Pangi tehsil covers 1,601 square kilometres (618 sq mi), and had a population of 18,868 at the 2011 census. Pangi has 16 panchayats and 54 inhabited villages. With recent improvements to the roads, the villagers have started to grow cash crops such as peas, apples and other fruit.[2] The upper reaches of the valley are inhabited by Pangwala and Bhoti people, who are mostly Hindu with a small minority of Buddhists. Attempts are being made to develop the area for tourism, focused on trekking through the dramatic scenery.Pangi, two language zones or belts, with some differences of language in each, developed according to the original ancestors, like Bunush or Bhiyunsh.[clarification needed] The language spoken by the Pangi people is Pangwali.[4][full citation needed] Language spoken by Bunush and Bhiyunsh is part of Pangwali. Linguists are working with the Pangi people for Pangwali language development. Phonology, grammar and discourse analysis have been done. Tubari, a Pangwali monthly magazine, is regularly published in the valley. Pangwali literature is under development; some titles are Baau pyar ('stories of father's love'), a Pangwali-Hindi grammar book and Manihelu, a booklet on proverbs and idioms. All of these materials are available on the Pangi website. In 2013 the debut Pangwali language development website was launched in three languages: Pangwali, Hindi and English.Pangi is unique in its grandeur and beauty: in this respect far surpassing any other portion of Chamba District. The scenery is sublime and imposing, and nature appears in her wildest and grandest moods. Everything is on a stupendous scale. The great river rolls along In a deep and narrow gorge,
