Wadi Qelt

Wadi Qelt, also known as Nahal Prat, runs through a cliff-lined gorge between Jerusalem and Jericho, with springs you can dip in during summer. The rappelling site is on the stream's northern cliff and is marked by an Israel Nature and Parks Authority sign.

This is probably the same site that is listed as the Ein Prat cliff, with the same reserve rules: advance booking, no entry on heat-stress or flood-risk days, and daylight only.

איך מגיעים? מהחניה של השמורה יש להמשיך מערבה לתוך הנחל. יש לחצות את הנחל לכיוון "המצוק הצפוני". יש להמשיך לאורך המצוק הצפוני במשך עשר דקות עד שנתקלים בשלט ירוק של רט"ג שעליו כתוב אתר סנפלינג.

From the reserve parking continue west into the stream, cross it toward the northern cliff and walk along it to the green Parks Authority sign marking the rappelling site. Entry to the reserve is by advance booking.

On heat-stress days and on days with flash flood risk, the climbing and hiking routes in the reserve are closed. Stay in the reserve during daylight only, and note that some trails are closed.

Suits groups that want to combine a rappel with a water walk in the stream. Book ahead and arrive in the morning.

Ropes long enough for the cliff's longest rappel, and a helmet and harness for each rappeller.
