Boukaat Loubnan Trail: North-Beqaa Trail - Ainata Ouyoune Orgosh
From Ainata, the trail starts at the entrance of Wade (valley) el Nsoura, after the Church of Saints Sarkis and Bachos. Go straight ahead and cross the wade (approximate distance of 8 km) to reach the area of Ouyoune Orgosh next to a church dedicated to Virgin Mary. The valley abounds with terraces and orchad trees. To cross this trail in winter, hikers need to be equipped with snowshoes or back-country skis, and make the necessary preparations, like checking the snow cover stability. Home to many ponds and water springs, Ouyoune Orgosh is your perfect getaway. Once you're there, you can enjoy lunch (in summer) in one of its restaurants on the banks of the lakes. Keep moving north to reach Nabee el Shimaly water source, a drinkable fresh water from the mountain.
