We leave Marrakech after breakfast and go to Imlil via Asni. Imlil is the main starting point for hikers, and a lively market town. There is a constant movement of people coming down from the mountains, and an equal supply of activity from those who are about to embark on their adventure. We meet our muleteery team and once all our equipment is loaded, we start walking along the valley towards Tacheddirt, about 8 km beyond Imlil. Soon the trail starts to climb as we climb to the Tizi n'Tamatert pass (2,279m). We then descend to the pretty village of Ouaneskra and continue for half an hour or two to Tacheddirt (3000 m), where we generally camp by the river. Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner.
