Itinerary description

In my quest to connect Spectrum valley with Ain Alshariyah area by hiking, I ventured into an exploration hike with my hiking buddies Imran and Samu today.
This terrain between both trails is not an easy one, with steep and vertical walls at places.

There was a lot of study and homework before this trail and after hiking through some steep areas and some challenges, my mission is complete.

As I have classified this trail as difficult due to many factors, I have not posted many details.

This hike is only suitable for very fit, experienced and determined hikers to achieve a particular goal.
There is lot of bouldering, scrambling on all 4s, lots of loose rocks, steep walls to climb and long mountain surfaces to hike in full glare of the Sun.

Do Not Try Any Mountain Hikes If You Do Not Understand The Mountain Terrains, Dangers From Wildlife, First Aid, Hydration And Snacks, Your Own Fitness, Remote Activity Preparations, Communication Tools, Mountain Geography, Topography, Risk Factors, HSE Requirements, Hiking Risks, Fitness Level Of The Group Members.
Study All Above Matters Well Before Following Any Trails That You Find Online. Please Do Not Over Estimate Yourself.
Better Be Safe Than Put Yourself / Group In Danger And Regret Later.
Lately We Have Seen A Lot Of Unwanted Hiking Incidents That Could Have Been Avoided With Better Preparation.
Wish You All The Best.

    Rag,

    There are a few points to consider here.

    1. This particular hike I recorded is exploration hike mostly on rough terrain.
    But yes, we started the hike from Ghar Khail side of the Ain Alsheriya standard trail.

    Now presently this is the primary start point.
    Once on the trail, please do the follow this trail.

    I have recorded the standard trail few times and they are on my profile.

    There are 2 start points.
    1. My this trail start point.
    2. The functional village side.

    Low clearance Sedans will suffer on the offroad access to the trail.
    Best is high clearance vehicle.

    I have also recorded the Offroading trail as the trail access road on wikiloc.

    Hope this helps.
