Our longest village trek. It starts lower, at Imi Oughlad, climbs through the Azzaden valley to the Tamsoult waterfalls, crosses to Imlil and the Imnane valley, and reaches the high plateau of Oukaïmeden before looping back down.
You stay in family homes, village guesthouses and one night in a riad in Imlil, with mules and a cook throughout.
