7 Hour Hike Inside Lebanon’s HOLY Kadisha Valley ???????? (Breathtaking 4K)
→ BONUS SCENES ON PATREON:
In case you didn't know, there is an ancient and UNESCO-recognized Holy Valley in northern Lebanon. Having never heard of the Kadisha Valley ourselves before coming to Bcharre, we thought the hiking trail that runs along the bottom of it would make for a nice day hike. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into! We only covered about half of the 13.6 mile trail, and even then we didn't get to see any of the ancient monasteries along the way. We will definitely be back someday--Hopefully in warmer weather ????

Dramatic gorges cut through the northern Lebanon Mountains. Called Wadi Qadisha, meaning “Holy Valley” in Aramaic, the basin and its environs hold a wealth of spiritual history. Beginning in the early centuries of Christianity, monasteries grew in Qadisha Valley's remote caves and cliffs. Lebanon's largest Christian group, the Maronite Rite, dates its arrival in the valley to the fifth century. Several monasteries remain active to the present day, including the Maronite hermitages at Qannoubine and Qozhaya, as well as the Greek Orthodox Hamatoura Monastery. Other sites lie abandoned, but demonstrate the continued importance of the region to Lebanon's Christian communities. Beyond the valley rises Makmel, the Levant’s tallest mountain. And at Makmel's foot, lies an evergreen grove, the Cedars of God. The Bible and Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh both memorialize the cedars of Lebanon. Over centuries, most old growth on the mountains was felled for its coveted timber. But reserves like this protect some of the remaining Lebanon cedars. Together, Wadi Qadisha and the Cedars of God are recognized on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Fascinating Roadtrip to Ouadi Qadisha the Holy Valley and Ehden in Lebanon
The Qadisha valley is one of the most important early Christian monastic settlements in the world. Many of Its monasteries are of a great age, stand in dramatic positions in a rugged landscape. Its really a very beautiful place to visit and hike, and if you like to drive off-road you will enjoy it a lot.
From where the Qadisha road meets the valley floor, it's a 5km (1½-2 hour) walk to the serene still-working convent of Deir Qannoubin, probably the oldest religious community in the valley.
A unique restaurant in the heart of Kannoubine (Qadisha) valley. Abou Joseph restaurant is a family business serving traditional Lebanese food. The restaurant is located near the old Kannoubine monastery and Saint Marina church.
After all, we end up driving to Ehden which is a mountainous town in the heart of the northern mountains of Lebanon, full of great destinations for visitors and residents alike!
We had our lunch in one of the finest restaurants in Ehden, Al Fardous which also has a great mountain view. This is the place for kibbeh. Try all the different kinds, from kibbeh nayye (raw meat) to kibbeh krass.
We really appreciate our friends Chaden, Georges and Larissa for introducing us to the heritage and the culture of the North of Lebanon.

Tripoli to????Qadisha Valley????1300m ????
Day 255. 37km (59258kms)
After taking a few days to slowly familiarise myself with Lebanon I was finally ready to explore. The necessity of bypassing Syria has meant both a big cultural leap and the introduction to a country by way of a big city. Ordinarily overlanding avoids these disjoints, but it’s been an exciting and novel experience nevertheless.
But now it’s time to head into the mountains. Overnight temperatures seem to drop no lower that 7 or 8 degrees just now but Lebanese people perceive this as very cold and consequently express concern. Cycling up is even more unfathomable, but I’ve checked the gradients and it seems reasonable for the most part.
Leaving town I crossed 2 military checkpoints. Car horns are so frequent nobody can possibly know where they’re from or who they’re aimed at! But once out of the city the traffic quickly thinned out. Climbing, the road is 2 lanes wide and in good condition. By staying on the main road I reached 1300m but kept the gradient around 6.5% instead of the back roads at 7.5%
The Qadisha Valley region is very Christian (part of the reason a jersey covered with Turkish flags is unacceptable here) In the absence of mosques I need to find new places to re-fill my water bottles. I’m told not to drink the tap water but I’m usually fine with it.
A supermarket trip came as a shock; in comparison; a portion of cake from a street vendor costs 3000TL, while in the shop a pack of pistachio halva is 75000TL. But I’m not here to scrimp; I’ve brought my usual weekly budget in US dollars to switch into lira (but not all at once as the currency is in free fall) and I want to make sure to spend it all. The very least I can do is inject (an allbeit small) quantity of cash into the local economy.
Once again I reached the top at sunset (16:30 here in Lebanon!) so didn’t have much time to appreciate the valley as I descended 300m to the monastery of St Anthony. I’d left it very late and there are No Flat Bits here! But I was in luck; they gave me permission to camp in their car port, then (having set the tent up ????) invited me inside to sleep in the Salon De Réunion. Here, on a comfy couch I ate my first camping picnic of tinned baba ghanoush and flat bread with a very nice drop of Lebanese red ????

A pilgrimage to the valley and St Marina’s tomb are a gift to every Maronite.
Hiking in the Kadisha Valley - Lebanon
Hiking in the Kadisha Valley - Lebanon. I left Bcharre by car and parked at the bottom of the valley. From there I hiked to the Qannoubin Monastery and back.
The whole trip took me less than 5 hours but I didn’t do any side trips to the hermitage or cave churches. I only visited Deir Mar Elisha, Deir Qannoubin and the St. Marina Chapel on the route. For me, the hiking was more than enough. I hope you enjoy my video of the Qadisha Valley. Would you go hiking solo?

The Kadisha Valley
After watching the 4k drone footage of Kadisha Valley ( ), I was really looking forward to see it with my own eyes! The views are breathtaking and you can enjoy the peace and fresh air of the mountains, about 1h 30 min drive from the coast. The Forest of Cedars of God is also worth the visit, and I also recommend visiting the Khalil Gibran Museum.
Cedars of the Lord, Qadisha Valley, Lebanon
I visit an ancient cedar grove called the Cedars of the Lord in the Qadisha ('Holy') Valley in Lebanon, at the foot of the highest peak of Mount Lebanon, north of Beirut. The grove is surrounded by a barren landscape that was presumably all covered in cedars at one time, but then deforested.
Qadisha Valley Lebanon ????????
????Qadisha Valley, located in the heart of Lebanon, is a breathtaking natural wonder that beckons travelers from around the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its rugged, mountainous terrain, lush cedar forests, and deep, rocky gorges. The valley is not only a haven for nature enthusiasts and hikers but also a place of great historical and cultural significance.
Qadisha Valley is often referred to as the Holy Valley due to its spiritual and religious importance. It has been a refuge for Christian hermits and monastic communities for centuries, and you can still find well-preserved monasteries clinging to the cliffsides, providing a glimpse into Lebanon's rich religious history.
Visitors to Qadisha Valley can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking and rock climbing to picnicking amid the cedar groves. The valley's rugged beauty and serene atmosphere make it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
In addition to its natural and historical attractions, Qadisha Valley is a gateway to explore the broader region of Northern Lebanon, including nearby towns like Bcharre and its proximity to the renowned Cedars of God Forest.
