Have this on my Bucket List so definitely had to visit while in Lebanon. Even though there was no waterfall it was still stunning, breathtaking and powerful to be sitting in its interior. There were max 6 people so very quiet, quiet enough to be able to intake this nature's masterpiece. Going halfway into its interior was amazingly therapeutical... total zen mode... 😍 perhaps not seeing the waterfall gave me the opportunity to connect and experience this in a different way and maybe even more intense. Must visit and take your time... this place has more to offer than just its physical beauty.

A natural wonder of lebanon's amazing cave systems abd waterways. Every year this gorge becomes more and more commercial in a bad way. It used to be alot better. It has been enhanced safety wise but the problem is that you pay an entrance fee then you pay another fee for using the zipline and using the monkey bridge, then there is a fee for the parking in a remote area away from Beirut or any major village for a fact. I think it is still a beautiful place and a natural geological wonder but it has been over commercialized.

It is a beautiful natural place to visit in Spring but needs a lot of attention due to some safety issues. In my opinion, not recommended for young children. There has been already a lot of work to improve this place but it is not enough on the safety aspect. Stone stairs have been made. zipline and a chairlift have been installed to reach the pit and back for additional fee. There are some activities near the pit such as wall climbing and bridge walking. There are parking and entrance fees.

I might be biased since this is my hometown, but this place is gorgeous year round. Wether it is covered in snow or dry in summer or weaved with flowers during the spring, this amazing natural wonder will not disappoint. I had my reservations when there was a restaurant added and other useless facilities; I still think it was a terrible idea but the nature eclipses all of man’s surrounding idiocy.

We visited during the winter so there was no entry we just had to hike for about 15 minutes through the snow. The waterfall with all the arches is mind blowing! Such a unique and beautiful place. In the winter you can’t go very close to it as with the snow it’s dangerous. But in the summer months you can and it’s a must destination if you are in Lebanon 🇱🇧😊 for more travel tips 👉🏻 @iamdaskalo

You can either drive all the way up or park farther and walk to the water fall. Def a place you have to visit if you visit Baatara. The ticket is around 15,000 per person and the parking lot right next to the entrance fees is around 3,000-5,000. They didn’t put any fence or man made protection Around the waterfall, so just need to be really careful while taking photos or being with kids.
