The trail begins at Nabee el Shemaly, a refreshing water source situated to the north of Ouyoune Orgosh. We embark on our journey by following a scenic dirt road, covering a distance of 6 kilometers until we reach the summer dwelling of the shepherds. It is from this point that we venture into the enchanting valley, ascending steeply towards the magnificent high plateau. Our first summit awaits us at an elevation of 3000 meters, offering awe-inspiring views. It is from this point that we commence our final ascent to conquer the majestic peak of Kornet es Sawda at an elevation of 3088 m. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience, as you conquer heights and witness the beauty of the surroundings from a vantage point like no other. We highly recommend you to call Boukaat Loubnan Trails to ensure you get guided by a local guide in all of this section.
