Itinerary description
Challenging mountain trek but views are spectacular. It took around 9 hours to complete the full loop (by starting from W24b to W24a and ending at W25). Highly recommended to start early. Physical fitness is must along with some previous tracking experience. Route is marked but at some points its tricky so better to load GPX file in some application like Garmin explore for additional support.

Hi Sajjad,
We are planning this hike soon.
Whats your opinion about trying this trail late September?
Your trail says 19.6 Kms.
Another similar trail shows short distance.
Which is correct?
Is the whole trail marked with flags?
Thank you Sajjad
Hi Sajjad,
Hope all is well with you !
Just wanted to update you, finally we hiked this most beautiful loop trail last weekend.
We were blessed with clouds and we had great views.
We hiked clockwise Wakan-Qurah-Hadash-Akhdar plateau and back to Wakan in just below 9 hours with many short breaks.
I would like to point out here that the section between Qurah and Hadash is full of flake type terrain and steep, which also can be slippery due to loose terrain.
Best to climb up as we did than descend down due to challenging loose flaky terrain.
Overall we enjoyed this hike.
I feel best experience can be Hadash-Akhdar-Wakan although you will need logistics planning.
Thank you for posting your trail.
