“Part of the trip to the valley are the caves”

Jul 2019

Part of the trip to the valley are the caves. Whether you visit one or many you will be impressed by how the early hermits lived in this rough but majestic environment.

“Hike and discover the treasure of qadisha!!”

Jun 2018

Amazing destination for hiking and nature lovers but also very interesting for its historical and archeological aspects as you can discover many caves and monasteries with paintings, engravings, water, and stories ... it is an amazing walk in the nature did it several times early morning (started at 4:00 am) or afternoon starting 3:00 pm with overnight in the valley !! Amazing and must see especially for nature lovers !!

Worth a visit

Oct 2013 • Business

Although the caves themselves are quite small, the walk to the caves is lovely, and the feeling of just going into the belly under these mountains is special in itself. In the winter these mountains are covered with snow and over thousand of years of the snow melting after winter has worn away huge caverns under the the mountains. Although this area is amazingly beautiful and special, travellers should remember that is an isolated and remote place, so don't expect 1 st world infrastructure, But do expect an authentic experience and this area is very very very safe. No chance of ever being harmed in this area. Although I am not religious, this area is a Christian stronghold and very safe

Natural caves

The Qadisha Valley's many natural caves have been used as shelters and for burials back as far as the Palaeolithic period. The Aassi Hauqqa ( cave) in particular, near Hawqa, Lebanon

Worth the trek!

Jun 2017 • Friends

It's a bit of a schlep to get to the caves but the trek is amazing because you get wonderful views of the valley below.

Once you're at the caves, it's like stepping into another realm. It kind of looks like Voldemort's horcrux cave but far more pleasant.

Nice place to visit

Jul 2016 • Friends

It's a nice grotto. Loved the walk to reach the grotto. If ur in the area, it is good to visit. The grotto is a but neglected by the government, it's only enlightened for 250m inside.

Qadisha Cave

Feb 2014 • Solo

This cave is not as famous or big as Jitta but if you are in Bcharre then you should go there
You will have to walk about 10-15 minutes from the place you park your car till you reach the entrance of the cave. the passage is narrow by the mountain and the view is so good along the valley. there are a small cafeteria but I don't advice it

Beautiful Caves

Oct 2011 • Solo

While smaller than the more-famous [and rightly so] Jeitta caves, the Qadisha caves are beautiful in themselves and less busy. The running water and pools through the caves also adds to their beauty.

Worth to visite!!!

Mar 2017 • Friends

One of many reason to visite Qadisha Valley is to visite the caves where the christians were refugees from the otomonan and mamelucs attacks. There are many caves, most of them you need to walk with an expert guide as George. I have visited many in a two days trekks there with Libantrek company even there is a cave where an eremit lives since long time ago.

fresh and moist break

Oct 2016 • Couples

the cave itself is nice, nothing extraordinary, though, yet not only it offers great views of the valley below and mountains above, but also gives a fresh and moist break from the heat and dryness of the area
