The iconic Wadi Shah traditional route over the ridge and back down the same way for a 5 hour hike that is just as incredible with the best views and a heart-pumping climb, scramble through the rocky wadi and return along a hair-raising cliffside.

We will not cross over the ridge making this trek doable for first timers crossing the 5 hour trek mark, especially as it gets hotter now. prepare for an early start! We run our challenge hikes differently!

Small Groups

Our challenge treks are limited to 10 trekkers along with 2 guides, ensuring everyone’s health and safety is attended to. This also ensures that in the event that anyone has heat issues (or any other issues) the rest of the group can continue and one guide will turn around. Nobody will ever walk alone or be asked to turn around on their own.

Sign up- pay later

When we have a minimum of 4 trekkers join the hike, we will send the payment link and confirm the hike. You can join the whats app group immediately after completing the pre-registration form on the button above.
