About the Destination

Ghayah doesn't reward the casual. The trail climbs, the air thins, and somewhere between effort and exhaustion the village appears, perched above it all as though it has been waiting. You walk terrain that has barely changed in a thousand years, then sit with the heritage that explains why people have always chosen to live here. The summit night is wild camping under a sky with no competition. Physically demanding: please assess your fitness honestly. All meals, expert guides, and ground transportation are included. Mixed gender. Airfare and personal gear are not included.

What to Bring

Daypack (20 L), ankle-support hiking boots (a size up for comfort), thick hiking socks, quick-dry shirts, a lightweight jacket and windbreaker, a down jacket for cool evenings, a rain jacket, hat and sunscreen, bug spray, sandals or camp shoes, a headlamp with batteries, a metal water bottle, a power bank and chargers, wet wipes, and any personal medication. Nights can fall to around 18°C in summer and colder in winter, so pack layers.
