Itinerary description

Hiyatah is always a beautiful location for a hike in Kesrouan. You can do many variations of loops in the same area (check my other trails).
This time, we started our hike with the Horsh Hiyata trail following the red and white signs, and headed to Chahtoul Camping site. From there you can go for a small climb on the rocks to get to the top of the mountain (check my other trail: Hiyata to Chahtoul loop).
We passed through the Chahtoul Cross, and then down to the valley to get back to the staring point.
On your way back after the end of the hike, you can pass by car to Nabaa Farah in Qattine to refill your bottles (you can find the location on Google maps). Enjoy hikers!
