This Sunday, we'll be taking you on one of our best hikes ever. Join us for a hike to satisfy body and mind on taking us along the Baskinta Literary Trail where you can enjoy nature and learn about Lebanon's literary greats.

Find out about Georges Ghanem (1932 - 1992: cofounder and president of many Lebanese cultural associations such as the House of the Lebanese Artist) and  Mikhail Nouaime (1889-1988 : considered a pillar of the Lebanese Renaissance literature of the 20th century.).

Our hike will commence at the impressive statue of Nouaime sculpted by Assaf Assaf near his house in Chakroub - a local professor will be with us to give us an insight into the history.  We will hike a stretch of the Lebanon Mountain Trail (LMT) passing fields and orchards with a local guide and expect to meet farmers along the way - most of the trail is moderate and it leads us along a path dating back to Roman times.

This moderate hike will take 4 hours; the last stretch requires a bit of effort , as we will hike a rocky path up the hill, but it is well worth the effort
