The trip to the mountainous village of Bcharre takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Lebanon. The road runs along the mountain slopes and is constantly increasing in height and offers stunning views of the Qadisha Valley; It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features rock-cut monasteries, wildflowers and wildlife. The red-roofed villages perched above the hills are pleasing to the eye, and there are many opportunities for hiking the quiet valley trails or climbing the stunningly landscaped mountains; This is the perfect antidote to Beirut's urban chaos.
