Epic 5 day Trek across two valleys and to the top of Mt. Toubkal - Highly Recommended - My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful 5 day trek with the Trek Atlas team, consisting of Mohamed our guide and Hassan as our mule driver and wonderful cook. From start to finish, our experience with Trek Atlas was exceptional and the highlight of our trip to Morocco. The trip was professionally organised and managed from start to finish. So glad we choose to go with Trek Atlas for our five day adventure around Imlil valley and to the top of Mt. Toubkal. Communication: Communication with Trek Alas was smooth - no issues in organising our trip with Ahmend, answering any questions we had before our arrival as well as during our 5 days with the Trek Atlas Team. Language: No issues with communication in English. Our guide and mule driver/cook both spoke English and were able to answer any questions we had. Food: Excellent. Hassan cooked up some great meals on the trail and ensured that our meals were always an experience. Guide: Mohamed was a wonderful guide that really took exceptional care of of us. While ascending Toubkal, he was encouraging and providing all the support we needed (putting on crampons for the icy patches). However, the decent was difficult and Mohamed was there to support my wife through many of the tricky areas. A brief overview of our 5 days overview: 4 full days on the in the mountains crossing several valleys and visiting multiple Berber villages was the highlight of our trip. Such a beautiful area. The pace and distance travelled each day was perfect for us and could be adjusted with our guide. Day 1 we walked around 16 KM and walked through two berber villages in the evening. Stayed at a local rest house that was basic but clean (good to bring your own towel for this stay and the mountain lodge). Day 2’s hike was around 20KM across some spectacular scenery and a visit to a beautiful waterfall - great day. The 3rd day was more relaxed as we headed up to the mountain lodge to get ready to hike Mt. Toubkal early the next morning. A long lunch by the river with the most beautiful mountains to look at was wonderful. Day 4 was a long and challenging up Mt. Toubkal. After coming down from Mt. Toubkal (around 6km up and back), we continued on to Aroumd, another 10+KM from the mountain lodge. You’ll be exhausted when you arrive to Aroumd, but it was much better going to Aroumd to sleep in a nice place with private toilet than another night in the dormitory in the mountain lodge! Reflecting on the epic day’s climb to the top of Mt. Toubkal while having a great meal on the terrace was simply amazing. Day 5 - late breakfast and nice walk into Imlil stopping by some waterfalls along the road to town. It was just an amazing unforgettable experience that we recommend to anyone that wants to spend more time in this beautiful area visiting multiple villages. Highly recommend going with Trek Atlas (they offer many other trips and excursions) and spending more time in the area - well worth the time invested. We’ll be back to see more of this area!
