Lebanon Mountain Trail (LMT) is a 350-plus km national hiking trail extending from Al Qobaiyat in the north of Lebanon to Marjaayoun in the south.
[edit] Understand
The LMT demonstrates the determination of Lebanon's mountain communities to conserve their unique natural and cultural heritage. Through environmentally and socially responsible rural ecotourism, the trail also helps to expand economic opportunities in rural areas; mobilize volunteers, youth and community groups for a worthwhile cause; and promote governance at all levels.
