If you stay in Gulf anywhere, tired of watching computer screens, brown landscapes, dry lands; then visit Salalah during Khareef season. Believe me this is going to recharge you for next spell of struggle of life. We visited Wadi Darbat in September 2016. By the time Khareef season was almost started saying goodbye for the year. But still you can see lot of greenery all around. When we started entering the Wadi it impressed all of us and we progressed through the hairpin bends though all over we could see only greenery besides the road. That was Amazingly Beautiful and capable enough to rejuvenate the tired eyes and souls. We stopped on the side of road and went little deep into the Wadi. There lies a river with very clean water (you can see the riverbed easily), Still the humanity with their polluted approach has not infiltrated into it. Reason being no one is allowed to swim in wadi, Good for the river. The wadi is full of green vegetation of many kinds. Its a paradise for bird watchers and nature photographers too. When we drove down to the end point of wadi (actually end of access for cars, not end point for wadi), we saw some boats available for boating in river on hired basis. If you are travelling with kids a must do activity for you. kids will surely love it. However, we preferred to take a small trek to other side of river, which was not too difficult, except some slippery spots. We enjoyed it. After you end the trek you find yourself in a plain area with shrubs all around. Relax near river, it will be a lifetime experience. Believe me I did not wanted to leave the place but my friends forced me to continue our Salalah tour, hence I had to leave. I recommend the place strongly...
