About
Us We
are a group of Brandeis University students of various nationalities and
backgrounds who want to organize expeditions along the Israel National Trail.
We are interested in experiencing Israel outside the context of traditional
guided tours, and developing a better understanding of the region. Mission Our
mission is to use these unique wilderness and cultural elements of the Israel
National Trail to inspire character development, personal growth, and develop
team building and leadership skills. About
the Trail The
Israel National Trail (INT) is a footpath that winds its way from the Red Sea
in the south to the Syrian/Lebanese border in the north. The trail crosses
the Negev Desert, past three seas, alongside ancient ruins and through modern
cities. Until recently, few non-Israelis have known about the trail. However,
the INT is quickly becoming renowned as one of the worldŐs great
long-distance treks. The
trail functions as a cross-section of IsraelŐs diverse cultures, religions,
and ethnicities, and also as a cross-section of the countryŐs diverse
geography. In addition, Israel has one of the most extensively-developed
networks of trails in the world, making it possible for individuals and
groups to experience a wide range of outdoor activities. |
