JORDAN

WADI NUMEIRA

Quite easy and can readily be hiked solo and unguided – the siq at the start is the best bit

WADI MUJIB SIQ TRAIL

More like a water park than a scramble; fun so long as you know what to expect

INDIA VENSTER

A brilliant hike for the grade 1 scrambler with excellent scrambles and amazing views but do take account of the many risks

SKELETON GORGE

A fun, easy grade 1 scramble in the central section plus climbing a few short ladders but the great majority of the route is hiking up wood and rock steps

NEPAL

MARDI HIMAL BASE CAMP

The main trek isn’t that special but the mountain scenery and hiking above High Camp can be phenomenal, though very weather-dependent

SUNDARIJAL TO CHISAPANI TREK

The core hike is not that interesting but the mountain views at Chisapani can be great and this is about as good as it gets for a one-day hike if you’re staying in Kathmandu
