Trip Overview

10-day trek in superb scenery. Mt. Toubkal - summit ascent Berber villages & Marrakech. A challengingn hike into the rugged
Atlas mountains. We seek out less popular trek routes and camp out under star filled skies each evening or stay in simple Berber homes. We plan to walk to the summit of Mt. Toubkal and several other peaks of the range.
Walking is graded as 'demanding'. A challenging hiking trip which avoids heavily trekked routes. Main baggage and camping equipment is carried by mule. The trek route may vary to take account of local conditions. Bring walking boots, daysac, a sleeping bag, and sleeping mat.
