| Day 1 - After a transfer to the little village of Imlil we begin our trek. Heading along the Mizane Valley, we first pass the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. We then continue east and by crossing the flood plains our route takes us along mule tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Crossing the river we eventually come to the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims. From here the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the snowline and the Toukbal Refuge (3206m), our stop for the night.
Approx. 4 to 5hrs walking. | | Day 2 - Early in the morning we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The walking is relatively straightforward, but the scree and the altitude will make the going quite difficult in parts. The views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile. When you reach the the summit you will see that the vistas across the surrounding landscape are quite breathtaking. From here there are unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara. We will retrace our steps when we return down the mountain and head back towards Imlil. |

| - Jamal, thank you! We have never experienced such tailored service. You made us feel very welcome in your country and you gave us a view into Moroccan life which would otherwise have not been accessible. We loved climbing Toubkal, seeing the desert and conversing and laughing with you. We left feeling that you were more than our guide-- that you were a new friend. Alex and Alana |
- Jamal,
We just wanted to say a very big thank you to you for organising such a fantastic trip for us all.
A very big thank you to Rachid and Abdel for such a fantastic time.
Hopefully we will see you all again in the very near future. Do look us up if you are ever in London.
Many thanks,
Adele, Stuart, Carryann, Alex and Nic |
