4 Days Berber Village Trek | Night Stay In The Atlas Mountains

Description


Experience the true Berber hamlet life and learn about the way of life with a 4-day trek in the high Atlas mountains. The journey begins in the breathtaking Imnane Valley, which is noted for its tiny towns tucked into the sides of the hills. You will stay in a typical Berber guesthouse throughout this walk and sip mint tea with the locals

The Berber people are important because they were a pre-Arab and pre-Islamic people. The environment, which is both beautiful and frightening, influences how they live. The basic components of the Berber diet, which consists primarily of bread, soups, and barley products in general, are meant to keep them healthy enough to cope with life on a mountain. The majority of dwellings in Berber settlements are made of clay, which is a combination of stone and mud. Villagers from all across the celebration region are invited to Berber wedding festivals, which last a week.


Itinirary (4 Days)


4 Days Berber Village Trek | Night Stay in the Atlas Mountains: On the first day of the Berber village experience trip, we will trek for nearly 6 hours a day. We will start at Imlil and head towards the Imnane Valley, where we will arrive at Tizi N'tamaterte (2,300m) for lunch. From there, we hit the trail again on the way to Techdirt, where we will spend the evening in a guest house.

In the morning, we head off from Techdirt and go towards the red village at Imsker while passing through many smaller settlements in the Imnane Valley. At night, we will rest in gites (French for locally owned houses) after the extended 5- to 6-hhour trek for the day.

Another 6-7-kilometer trek through the mountains will have you crossing the Imlil Valley and heading up to Tizi N'Tacht (2,100m). Tizi N'Libour is the perfect spot to enjoy lunch while taking in the beauty of the Azzenden Valley. The trek then continues towards Tizi Oussem, where we will rest in Gite again. Tizi Oussem also has a hammam you can try out, like a type of steam bath that the locals use.

The final day consists of another 5-hour trek. We will head towards Imlil, encounter a massive, breathtaking waterfall, and meet up with the supply mule in Tizi Mizik (2,500m). After lunch, it's time to head back to Imlil, where the trip will end: 4 Days Berber Village Trek | Night Stay in the Atlas Mountains.
