The fall left him unconscious and seriously injured, with a broken skull and bones.
During his walk, the dad stopped at The Trinnacle landmark on Saddleworth Moor and asked two passersby to take his picture.
Shortly afterwards, when he started climbing back down, he blacked out and fell 200ft in the ravine.
Imran was later rescued by paramedics but only woke up a month after the incident in February this year.
He told Yorkshire Live: "I woke up that morning, had something to eat, drove to Dovestones and started walking.
"It was a very steep climb and I was walking against the wind that day. I took lots of photos and videos and went to the Trinnacle where two people took my photo.

"I did a live video for social media and actually said at the end of it, if someone fell from here that would be the end for them.
''I started to climb down and that’s the last thing I remember."
CHALLENGING MISSION
Luckily, two walkers, Carly and Nadine saw him falling and quickly called the emergency services while another couple, Caroline and Paul also stopped to help.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance dispatched a helicopter to rescue Imran, but the bad weather and the strong winds of that day made the mission particularly challenging.
Paramedic James Allen said: "It was blowing a gale and the ground was crumbling away in places. If any of us had lost our footing, it would have been game over."
Imran was eventually flown to Sheffield Northern General Hospital where tests showed he had two broken skull bones, one of which caused internal bleeding by penetrating his brain.
Additionally, he had a broken shoulder, shoulder blade, spinal bone, a small bone in his left leg as well as a badly damaged right leg.
The 36-year-old who spent three weeks in an induced coma added: "When I woke up from the coma I didn’t know where I was or what had happened.
"I thought that I was in Bangladesh. It took some time to realise the extent of my injuries."
'ANGELS WHO SAVED ME'
The dad is still undergoing treatment for his injuries.
He has praised those who came to his rescue that day, describing them as his ''angels.''
He has remained friends with the people who helped him and has since met up with the Mountain Rescue Team and the YAA crew and has even thanked them with a huge curry from his family's takeaway in Chadderton, Oldham.
He added: "Without the members of the public, the emergency services wouldn’t have come to my rescue as they called them and without the emergency services, I wouldn’t be here today.
"They are my angels who saved me. I’m so grateful for their help. It was a very challenging rescue and it’s amazing what they did to save me."
