 Day 1 - UK to Marrakech
We depart the UK for our flight to Marrakech. Upon arrival, we will meet our
local guides and transfer to our Hotel.
Day 2 Marrakech to Toubkal Hut (3,200m)
After an early breakfast, we transfer to the start of our trek by vehicle. Upon
arrival at Imlil (1,750m), we meet our muleteers who will load our gear onto the
mules, meaning trekkers will only carry a day pack.
The trek then starts immediately as the trail begins to climb quite steeply
the views of this awesome mountain range will keep trekkers spirits high!
Stopping somewhere for our lunch, we will push on until we reach our camp for
the night Toubkal Hut (3,200m) where we will relax our aching limbs on rugs
and drink tea.
 Day 3 Summit day! Mt Toubkal (4,167m)
After an early breakfast, we push on to our goal the summit of Toubkal! This
is a long, rugged trek; from the grassy green meadows around Toubkal Hut we will
negotiate sections of steep scree and boulders as we walk higher into the
soaring peaks with their isolated snow patches. All of our hard work will be
definitely be worth it as we reach the highest point in North Africa!
Weather permitting we have some exhilarating views to the South we will see
the Sahara stretching out and to the north we will see the plains of Morocco.
After taking in our accomplishment, we will start our descent to our overnight
stop at the Gite Ait Souka in the village of Sidi Chamaharouch.
 Day 4
After a hearty breakfast, we push on trekking until we reach Imlil, where we
will wave goodbye to our muleteers and take our transfer back to Marrakech.
