Itinerary description

I splited the trail to two parts however, I reached Yabanah Summit and hiked back in Village in one day. Here will have to overnight at the village eastern side (known name in shihhi tribe "Halak" which mean so hard) just before the top of Wadi Shiha. Thats make it a good backpacking trip and has many good options to camp anywhere too. The trail to the village is varied from easy to medium with the steep hike you will navigate allot.

    Hello Ebrahim,
    I was going through my trails and also somehow stumbled upon your trail.
    Yes, this village is called as Helek.
    And the main part,I remember meeting you that day while we as a group were ascending up towards Helek on 12th April and you were descending with your large backpack.

    My trail recording below !! Check the date !!

    And I also remember you saying that you were founder of hiking company, but those days I was new into hiking and today I can relate those hikes , you and beyond action !!!
    All the best brother.

    By the way, recently I hiked to the Yabana summit 3 times in 6 weeks.
    Yabana is simply beautiful.

    Inshallah will meet you again.
