Miranjani - Pakistan

[K.Haroon]

Miranjani is the highest peak, at 2,992 metres (9,816 ft) in elevation, of Abbottabad District in the KPK Province of Pakistan. It is located in the Phalkote near Namli Maira area, 80 kilometres north of Islamabad. Miranjani is clad in Western Himalayan subalpine conifer forests, with Pine, Walnut, Oak, and Maple trees and shrubs and herbs. Miranjani is an attraction for hikers. From Nathia Gali it takes three hours to reach the peak via a steep but easy track. The peak's top offers spectacular views. Places easily seen include: Azad Kashmir, Jhelum River (Kohala), Abbottabad city, Havelian, and Thandiani. On a clear day the 'treacherous' mountain Nanga Parbat can be seen 400 kilometres away but it takes two hours more hiking towards Nanga Parbat view point. Last visited in July 2016.
