About
A short tributary of the Banias on the northernmost Golan slopes. It starts as a few short channels near the Ein Fit spring and runs on as a weak flow, perennial only in its lower part, past fruit trees and old mill remains. Most of it is gentle or steep but has no real falls.
About two hundred and fifty metres after the red jeep track, laid on an old Roman road, crosses the bed, the stream drops over a fall of about twenty metres, covered in vegetation. Below it a short canyon with small cascades and pools, and before the Banias another fall of about five metres. The book says this stretch is not passable for hikers and needs rappelling and pushing through thicket.
The stream joins the Banias in the middle of its canyon. The book notes a viewpoint over the fall from across the Banias, open all year. Page 42 was not photographed, so what the book says about leaving the Banias is unknown.
Access notes
The book says any car reaches Ein Fit, on a dirt road from a bend of Route 99 (Banias to Mas'ada), and the viewpoint over the fall. The red jeep track crosses the bed about 250 m above the fall. On rainy days the viewpoint can be walked to from the Snir cemetery parking.
Parking
The book gives no parking for the descent; the viewpoint walk starts at the Snir cemetery parking.

Safety
The lower stretch needs rappelling and pushing through thicket. The descent ends inside the Banias canyon, and the photographed pages do not describe the way out.
Weather constraints
From Ein Fit a weak flow runs on and disappears in summer in the bare stretches; a weak spring emerges in the middle of Pera Fall.
Recommendations
Check the way out of the Banias canyon and the reserve rules beforehand.
Equipment
Full rappelling gear and a helmet.
