Chotem ha-Karmel, Mountain summit in Haifa District, Israel

Chotem ha-Karmel is the southwestern tip of the Carmel range, a ridge whose cliffs, Cukej Chotem, drop about 130 m to the coastal plain. The reserve declared on 24 August 2003 covers 486 dunams, about 3 km north to south, between the Binyamina quarry and Kibbutz Ma'ayan Zvi. Heights run from 15 m to 140 m at Ramat ha-Nadiv.

The reserve was declared on 24 August 2003 and covers 486 dunams at the foot of the Chotem cliffs, between the Binyamina quarry and Kibbutz Ma'ayan Tzvi. A further 435 dunams on the cliff top were approved in 1982 but never declared a reserve. The best-known site within it is the Kebara Cave, and the Israel National Trail crosses its southern part.

The name Chotem ha-Karmel means "Nose of the Carmel", after the cliff promontory called in Arabic al-Khashm, also "the nose".

A major hiking route, the Israel National Trail, passes through the area and offers various paths with different difficulty levels. It is wise to bring water and appropriate footwear, as the terrain can be rocky and uneven.
