Climb Mount Toubkal - trekking - 3 days

We had a very beautiful trek with lasting memories. Our guide Hassan and cook Hamid were both very kind and we had very interesting conversations. We spent the first night in a tent at a remote place in the middle of beautiful mountains. We always had very good food and a lot of snacks and obviously a lot of fantastic mint tea. On the second day we had a long and challenging hike up to 3650m and then down to the refugee. Fantastic views! On the early morning of the third day at 4am we started our ascent of Toubkal. With a steady pace (Tenmirz Hassan!) we made it on point for the sunrise which was a breathtaking experience. We were able to hike down a different path alongside which we found the remains of a crashed plane. The hike down through this valley was fantastic (but hiking boots are kind of a must because you walk through a lot of gravel and bigger rocks). All in all we were very happy we chose the 3day trek, because on the first two days we were mostly completly alone which was a very nice experience. Between Imlil and the Refugee there are a lot of people and shops and on a 2day trek you hike the same way up and down. The pickup and drop of in Marrakech was very good organised as well. We recommend it a lot to make your trek with Toubkal Guide.

Experiencia increíble. El guía (Ibrahim) y el transportista y cocinero (Mustafá) unos cracks. A pesar de haber contratado una cosa, Ibrahim nos ha llevado a hacer más cosas. Trato cercano y muy familiar. Hemos conectado con él muy bien. Mustafá es un cocinero buenísimo. A más de 3000 metros de altitud, nos ha preparado unos menús dignos de cualquier restaurante de estrella Michelin. Siendo ellos bereberes y nosotros españoles, el idioma no ha sido un impedimento. Sentirte parte del Atlas es inalcanzable para algunos. Para nosotros, ya no. Sin duda, la humildad y la sencillez de estas gentes nos ha llegado a lo más profundo.

Where do I start? The entire team were amazing from the very begining. When we first got in contact about booking the trek, they were incredibly helpful in giving us the necessary information to plan our trip (clothes, gear, timing etc...) We were picked up from our accomodation and taken to their lodge in Imlil which was amazing. The level of quality in their planning was out of this world, every detail was thought about which made us all feel safe and looked after. Our guide Ibrahim was really social and communicated really well with us all the way and when we got to the base camp (refuge) we stayed in tents as we did a summer trek and the entire team including our own chef were just fantastic. The food was soooo good and really needed after the long hikes. I would recommend these guys a million times over and will deffinitley be coming back to try their other excursions just based on this experience alone. Really qualified, professional and made the whole experience feel unique and safe.
