Morocco Hiking

Many people perceive these days that Morocco hiking in Mount Toubkal typically results to the kind of leisure or enjoyment of a lifetime. The 4,167-meter mountain has a joint scoot and jaunt which resembles the world-renowned Atlas Mountain.

Every year, thousands of people fail to reach the peak of Mt. Toubkal due to lack of preparation and lack of information on safety or precautions. Only few people have successfully reached the peak today. If you want to count yourself as one of the people who have reached Mt. Toubkal's peak, there are effective ways on how you can do it.

You must have all the things you need when you will go on a Morocco hiking. The things must include hiking poles and boots, clothing made from layered materials, yak tracks or snow crampons, camera, water and mountain hiking guide. You can also seek assistance from a hiking tour operator.

The operator will help you set up your guide and strategies in reaching the peak of Mt. Toubkal. In beginning the first hiking strategy, you must have transportation from Marakkech to Imlil areas. You can also start your hiking strategies in other towns near Marakkech and Imlil.

Head along to the river areas with your Morocco hiking guide and mules. The river situated in Mt. Toubkal perpendicularly runs between Imlil and nearby towns. You need to take a slow walk in the woods located along the river.

You must be able to reach the mountain's base camp afterwards. Today, there are two refuges in the base camp which is the older base and the latest which was just recently finished. It will take you about 6-9 hours before you can finally reach the base camp they call "Neltner."

For you to be able to reach the peak of Mt. Toubkal, you must leave the base camp at early morning. Most hikers leave at around 5 AM and were able to reach the peak in just 5 hours.
