Itinerary description
you need a 4wd to reach the starting point. nice hike, not very technical but need good level of fitness. some steep uphill ascend, but the view and village at the top made it worthwhile. good hiking boots with ankle protection are recommended

Any water? Pools?
How far from a saloon car drive is the start point?
Hello David, sorry about the delay in reply. There is no water in this wadi, it is pretty dry. It is about another 5km walk along the wadi from where the saloon car can reach.
It was interesting hike but we did not reach the very top. If you want to be at the very top then you need additional 100-200m climbing.

Straight hike through the wadi, with a bit of a steep climb towards the end to reach the mountaintop village.
This is basically Sheri village hike trail with extension towards Samarat village, but not yet reached there.
