Itinerary description

This was an exploration hike with 3 friends Rakesh, Vijay and Suresh.
Started from Wadi Haqaab (other side of Wadi Bhi), went to the 3 villages on the way including HEB village, reached the ridge between Jabel Qadaah and Jabel SPAR (named by us) and then steep down into Leopard Canyon via Bat cave and out of the Leopard Canyon.

Highest elevation was 1200 m (Peak SPAR)
Route to the 2nd village Heb is still quite easy, but then you need navigation to reach the SPAR pass. From SPAR PASS this route has steep descend, would suggest rather take the reverse route. Steep ascend would be approx 800 m, but manageable compared to descend.

Any new hikers or experienced hikers with no navigation skills, I would not advise to attempt since 30% of the tough route has no trails and it can get quite risky by all means.
