Registration for Mokhtara to Haret Jandal Hike with Adventures in Lebanon

Adventures in Lebanon is hosting a hike from Mokhtara to Haret Jandal, located 56 km from Beirut, in the Chouf.

It’s a five-hour hike along the Barouk river, with a walk under the impressive cliff of Amatour, crossing two Ottoman and Mamluk wooden bridges, old caves, old mills, an old burial ground, a waterfall, and finally a forest track at the end of the trail.

The name Al-Moukhtara, meaning “the chosen,” is a reference to the decision by Sheikh Ali Rabah Joumblatt (grandfather of Sheikh Bachir Joumblatt) to choose the village for his palace grounds. The palace was built in the 17th century over the ruins of a Roman citadel. Al Aan TV will be escorting “Adventures in Lebanon” members throughout the event with live interviews.
