In this, our 13th season, we are continuing our successful series of hikes in various areas of the country, encompassing different terrains and levels of difficulty. We look forward to a season of old and new hikers of all ages enjoying our great combination of Israeli nature and good company.

Hikers should come properly prepared for each hike: plenty of water (2 litres per person in normal weather,
at least 3 litres per person if it's hot
), good walking shoes, hat, sunscreen, and food for breakfast and lunch in a backpack. Torch, swimming gear and change of clothes where suitable

N.B. We reserve the right to refuse participation on the hike to any person who does not come properly equipped or is not physically capable of making the distance!!!

Cost of each hike: Unfortunately from Sep 08 there is an increase due to rise in petrol prices: NIS 170; ESRA members NIS 145
(There may be an additional charge for entry to a National Park)

Registration: By cheque or credit card to: ESRA Raanana office at Beit Fisher,
5 Klausner St, (Sun - Thurs 09:00 - 13:00). Tel. 09-748 2957

Postal Address: ESRA (Hiking Club), POB 175, Raanana 43101
PLEASE REGISTER AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE DATE OF THE HIKE
There will be a cancellation fee of NIS 20 and we reserve the right to retain the full amount if someone does not turn up for the hike and has not informed us more than 48 hours prior to the hike.
