Miranjani is the highest peak of Abbottabad District in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan and is a big attraction for hikers. It is situated near Nathia Gali, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Islamabad in the Himalayan ranges. From Nathia Gali it takes three hours to reach the peak. It is an easy walk and the top offers a spectacular view. It has less space at the top compared to the neighbouring mountain Mukeshpuri.
From the top of Mera Jani the following places can easily be seen Azad Kashmir, Jhelum River (Kohala), Tarbela lake, Abbottabad city, Havelian, and Thandiani. On a clear day, the treacherous mountain Nanga Parbat can be seen 400 km away.
Miranjani is also clad in Pine, Walnut and Oak Maple trees,and other shrub and herbs. From Miranjani one take many short strolls through the pine forests. Tourists can walk up a track starting from the Governor’s House to the top of Miranjani Hill (2960 metres high), that takes 6 to 7 hours both ways.
