Hikes with Rappelling in the South:

The Southern part of Israel has a more harsh landscape and more challenging terrain. It is characterized by its’ desert and mountains. The wondrous views and extra-ordinary quiet are unique to this region which has the largest variety of adventure hikes in Israel.

There are many canyoneering hikes in this region which require the use of ropes, and where you must swim, rappel, and rock climb in order to complete the hike, such as Nachal Darja and Nachal Chatzatzon. The combination of the yellow desert sand with the bright blue Dead Sea is exhilarating and inspiring.

This region demands from our Israel Extreme guides’ expert knowledge and experience of the desert, and a high familiarity with the specific hike. Even though this part of Israel is known for its’ adventurous and challenging hikes, we also offer a variety of hikes throughout the desert which are suitable for families with young children and people with no experience at all, such as Nachal Gishron.

Of course, whoever is looking for tough, ambitious and adventurous hiking in Israel, this region is heaven on earth!
