What to expect?
Day One: Imlil – Tizi n’Tamaterte – Tachddirt
The day’s trekking will take you from Imlil, through Tizi n’ Tamaterte to Tachdirt. It involves around 5-6 hours of walking and takes you from 1740m above sea level to around 2300m. You’ll spend the night in a guest house in Tachdirt and on your way there you can enjoy your lunch at the pass.
Day Two: Tachddirt - Imsker
Setting off from Tachdirt, you’ll strike out for the red village, passing many other dwellings as you walk. You’ll be travelling for a round 5 hours along the Imnan Valley, which is a simply beautiful area of North Africa, to get to Imsker to spend a well-earned night in local gites.
