Hiking Trip - Bazhel - Nahr Ibrahim Hike - Keserwan District

  • Bazhel – Nahr Ibrahim
    Hike

    We will hike this time on a new trail, from Zeaitre to Nahr Ibrahim, passing through Bazhel, in an event fully organized and coordinated by Vamos Todos.

    This hike will consist of two levels of difficulty: Level 3 and Level 5, and in both cases it will be mostly a downhill hike through beautiful forests filled with oak and pine trees using an old trail to link the villages to each other.

    The Level 5 hike will start in the village of Zeaitre, where we will walk around and see its main attractions, and then will continue through a beautiful trail, reaching the Roman Stairs and the oldest church of the village, which is renowned for its instances of performing miracles with certain locals. Afterwards, we will continue through forests to reach the village of Bazhel.

    The Level 3 hike will visit Zeaitre main church, before going through forests to reach the village of Bazhel.

    Whilst in Bazhel, we will walk around and visit its old churches and the village's spring of water, arriving near Saydet el Najat Church and seeing many timeless and traditional Lebanese houses along the way. One highlight of Bazhel is the breathtaking view that can be seen from its cliff, overlooking Nahr Ibrahim and offering a birds-eye view of the valley below.

    Following the break in Bazhel, we will continue onwards to Nahr Ibrahim, where we will have our lunch break together at a local restaurant. Finally, after lunch, we will take the bus back to Beirut.
