context_page_description: Meghma is a small hamlet inside the Singalila National Park in the Darjeeling subdivision, Darjeeling district in the state of West Bengal in India near the India - Nepal border, and lies on the Sandakphu trek.
context_section_description: Meghma as the name suggest is covered by clouds most of the time. The tourist or the guests entering Meghma is welcomed by the Buddhist monastery because the cloud is a magician here which conceals and reveals the monastery.  Built in the early fifties, it is one of the prominent monasteries of the region because it treasures 108 forms of Buddha.  These 108 Buddhas are believed to be encountered in ones journey from this world to the next world (Sukhawati Bhavan) depending on his Karma.
  Meghma is the most cleanest village in this area and a suitable place to take a rest and probably the best place to take the first halt to prepare for a long Singalila Trek.  It is situated about 3 hours of trekking from Manebhanjan.
