Its peak is {{convert|6132|m}} above sea level.{{sfn|Kapadia|1999|p=97}}{{efn|Many sources claim that the peak is {{convert|7025|m}} high, based on an erroreous recording made in Survey of India maps in early days.<ref>Guide to Trekking in Himachal: Over 65 Treks and 100 ... - Page 31 Minakshi Chaudhry - 2003 "Kinnaur & Spiti — region has [[Reo Purgyil|Leo Pargial]] (6791 m), Gya (6794 , Shilla (7,025 m), Shipki (6608 m),"</ref> The error is now recognised.{{sfn|Kapadia|1999|pp=95–97}}}} 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’.
