Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa at 4,167ms, is one of the alluring peaks that gets a lot of visitors from everywhere throughout the world. Although the hike to the summit is very testing, it doesn’t require any genuine mountaineering experience. The panoramic view from the summit makes the hard work worthwhile. An ideal visit includes 4 days and 3 nights trek on the western height Atlas, beginning by visiting numerous Berber villages and hiking over high Mountain passes to get used to the altitude before reaching the summit on day 4.
e exchange from Marrakech to Agersioual, where we meet our group including the guide, the cook and the muleteers. From here, we set off for the Ouirgane National Park. The territory here is a land with copper green soil and juniper trees. Walking around 5 hrs, we get to Tizian Village where we spend the night in a Berber gite.
It is a taxing day trek that takes 7 hours to eventually arrive at the gite where spend the night. After having breakfast, we cross over to the alluring Azzaden Valley. The views open up with a rushing mountain stream surrounded by lavish walnut forests driving up towards Toubkal and her sister crests at the leader of the Valley.
Today’s trek is as almost as long as the second-day’ s trek. It includes a difficult troublesome climb out of the Azzadene Valley to Toubkal Refuge at 3,200m. Lunch will be taken with amazing views over the Atlas Mountain Range. We go through the night in Toubkal Refuge where we’ll likely be sharing a bunk room with other trekkers prepared for ascending Toubkal mountain.
Compared with the previous day, this is the longest day with 8-9 hours of walking. After an early breakfast, we begin our trek, walking in a regular rhythm. When we get to the summit, we’ll have wonder views over the Atlas Range and the Sahara Desert, which influences us to disregard all the hard exertion made amid the entire trek. After that, we walk down back to Imlil, from where we exchange back to Marrakech.
