This five day trek begins with a genuine novelty, a camel ride through juniper forests near Moulay Brahim before the walking even starts, offering panoramic views over Asni and the surrounding valleys. From Imlil, the route heads into quieter parts of the High Atlas via Imi Oughlad, the Assif N'Ait Oussaden Valley and the remote village of D'Knt.
The middle days cross walnut groves, farming communities and mountain passes up to 2,489 metres, with the final day featuring the Ighouliden Waterfalls before the last climb to Tizi N'Mzik and the descent back to Imlil for the return to Marrakech.
This suits travellers who want a genuinely varied High Atlas trek, mixing an unusual camel ride opening with days of authentic village walking away from the busier Toubkal trails, finishing with a scenic waterfall and pass crossing.
Experienced local guides and mules support the trek throughout, with accommodation ranging from guesthouses and gites to a bivouac camp depending on the stage of the route.
The camel ride near Moulay Brahim adds a distinctive and memorable start to the trek before the walking begins, taking you through juniper forests with panoramic views over Asni, and is a feature not included on most other Atlas treks.
It's a relaxed, novel way to begin the trip before the walking days start.
This trek is graded medium, with around 5 hours of walking most days and a high point of 2,489 metres at Tizi N'Mzik. A reasonable level of fitness for consecutive walking days is recommended, though no technical climbing is involved.
The camel ride on day one is a gentle introduction before the walking begins in earnest.
Yes, the route passes through and overnights in remote villages including Tiziane and D'Knt, away from the busier Toubkal trails, giving genuine opportunities to see traditional mountain farming life.
These villages see far fewer visitors than the main Toubkal trekking routes.
Yes, mules carry the main luggage throughout the trek, so you only need a daypack with water, layers and personal essentials during the walking days.
