Returning via the first of these waterfalls, we swing back via Setti Fadma’s twin village of Zaouia Mohammed to take our picnic in the village. We hike towards the west along the western branch of the Valley, the Adrar n’Oukaïmeden and Jbel Angour in front of us, drawing us like a magnet past streams flowing from the upper slopes, through the tiny hillside villages of Isghouarne, Agadir n’Ait Boulmane, Tadrart, Tiourdiou and Izouggaghene with their cornfields, terraced irrigated plots and groves of orange and olive trees, to finally arrive at the village of Timichchi, set amongst ancient walnut trees, where we shall have our Berber dinner and accommodation for the night in the home of a loc

We’ll stop for our field picnic after some 2½ hours incredible hiking before setting out once more for a further 2 hours down to the terraced village of pisé homes called Tacheddirt (2,291m), set amongst terraced, irrigated fields clawed out over the centuries from the surrounding mountainside. Tacheddirt is easily the oldest and quaintest of all the Berber villages in the Toubkal Massif. Tonight we’ll enjoy our dinner and accommodation in a Berber house. Enjoy Ourika & Toubkal Trek.

Today we set off down the Assif Imnane Valley , passing throught several Berber hamlets and thence up to the Tizi' n’ Ageursiwal (2,000m). Once through the col we shall now go down more winding mule tracks leading to the village of Aguersiwal (lunch spot ) set off in river bed of Imlil, allow another hour to get up the Valley to Imlil. Overnight in Imlil village.

Thence, on up to the Tamsoult Cascade, also known as the Irhoulidene Cascade (2,200m) and return down for dinner and overnight in a basic base camp.

Today we continue Ourika & Toubkal Trek and climb Jebel Toukbal, Northern Africa's highest peak. Our approach leads us up the south cirque, across the creek above the base camp, and across one of the mountain's scree fields. The walking is quite easy, although the scree and altitude make it challenging in sections, but the vistas make it worth it. From the plateau, it's a short trek to the peak. From here, one can see the Marrakech Plain, High Atlas, Anti-Atlas, and Sahara. After snapping photos and eating, we travel back to the hut for lunch before meeting the vehicle in Imlil and driving to Marrakech.
