Imlil Mule Trek

Start by car and continue by mule when we arrive higher up in the mountains at Imil.

By car, follow the Ighighayne river through the Moulay Brahim Gorge to the market village of Asni. Continuing, we pass by Sir Richard Branson’s Kasbah Tamadot and the route becomes more and more spectacular with stone built Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides alongside steep orchards of apples and walnuts irrigated by mountain springs.

On arrival in Imlil (altitude of 1,700m) discover the village and then join our mountain transport (mule and muleteer).

The mule trek starts by following water irrigation channels that pass through walnut groves and small Berber villages (douars) heading higher in the direction of Douar Armed (1,900m). En route visit the waterfalls and encounter energetic walkers advancing towards Mount Toubkal until we pass above the tree-line and can admire the views of Douar Imlil below. For the return leg, take either the route past the Kasbah du Toubkal or the higher route via Douar Tamatert.

Please note that riding hats are not provided for the mule trek. We can also organsie a day trip to Imlil for those who would prefer to walk. This day excursion includes a picnic.
