Jordan Trail: A Walk Worth Talking About

If you’ve been itching for an adventure that doesn’t involve navigating Ikea on a Saturday, Lonely Planet has your back. Jordan just made its “Best in Travel” list for 2025, and the Jordan Trail is stealing the spotlight. It’s 676 kilometers (420 miles) of jaw-dropping landscapes, charming villages, and just enough cardio to justify eating your weight in hummus afterward.

Why April Is Peak Jordan Trail Season
April in Jordan is basically Mother Nature showing off. Temperatures are a delightful 20–23°C (68–73°F)—warm enough to skip the parka but not so hot that your sunscreen feels like it’s losing a battle. The valleys are lush, wildflowers are blooming like crazy, and every step feels like you’re walking through a travel magazine spread.

What’s the Big Deal About This Trail?
Here’s the thing: the Jordan Trail isn’t just a hike; it’s a full-blown adventure. Stretching from the country’s northern tip to its southern border, it’s like Jordan’s greatest hits album but without the tourist crowds. Sure, you could do the whole 676 kilometers if you’re part machine, but even a small section will have you saying, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

Expect dramatic ridges, secret villages, and views so stunning they might make you tear up—or maybe that’s just the wind (looking at you, khamaseen). And let’s not forget the unspoken rule of hiking: every calorie burned is a license for an extra plate of falafel.

Move Over Petra, There’s a New Star in Town
Yes, we all love Petra and Wadi Rum—they’re Jordan’s Beyoncé and Jay-Z. But the Jordan Trail is like the indie artist you discover before they blow up. It’s raw, real, and gives you a sneak peek into the country’s soul. Plus, nothing beats meeting locals and wandering into landscapes you didn’t even know existed.

So, Are You Ready to Trailblaze?
April is calling, and it’s saying, “Come hike me!” Whether you’re in it for the views, the adventure, or just the excuse to post an epic wind-swept selfie, the Jordan Trail delivers.
