LMT Section 20: From Maaser El Chouf to Niha

From el Chouf Cedar Park, start your walk along the paved road towards Mrousti village. Once you leave the village, take a left turn and then a right to start climbing up a dirt road. Go past the concrete water reservoir and then take the footpath to the left passing by Ain el Zghire. Continue on to the ridge line before descending until you reach a dirt road. Walk downhill and turn left at the first dirt road before passing the stream and walking uphill along another dirt road until it becomes a partially-concealed path. Continue downhill again and take a left turn onto another dirt road before starting to climb towards some beautiful geological formations. Keep walking along the dirt roads, passing by a hill lake on your right-hand side and continue towards the village of Mrousti. Walk into the village and climb up to take the footpath to another dirt road and follow it towards a farm before arriving at the Ain Chaachouaa spring. Cross by the spring and follow the dirt road before taking a footpath which passes near the pine forest up to rocky saddle where you start a steep decent towards the valley. Then follow the water canal to reach the main square of Niha village.
