Trekking in Saghro Mountain Range

The wild and untamed Saghro Mountain range offers perfect conditions for trekking away from the tourist crowds. Wherever you trek in this region you will see awe inspiring landscapes; dramatic volcanic pinnacles contrasting against lush oasis of almond and date groves. This beautiful region is inhabited by the Ait Atta tribe, great warriors who are famous for their last stand against the French.

Departure from Nkob (altitude 1030m) by foot or take local transport to Handour, the little village of the oasis. From here you will start the trek through the Saghro, following the Iggy valley. Lunch in Tifdassine. In the afternoon you will pass the Alhyan peak and then make the decent to Ighazzoun n’Imlas (altitude 1290 m) where there is the possibility of spending the night in a bivouac or in the home of locals.

In the morning you make an easy ascent to the rocks of Tadawt ye N’Teblah where you will have lunch. After lunch we pass through Tizi n’tegourte to Igli where you will stay the night in a camp.

A walk through the valley of Bouwalouze where you will pass almond fields and small cultivated terraces. Lunch at the gorges. Arrive at Bab n’Ali and spend the night in a hostel. If there is time you can visit a small waterfall nearby.

Lunch at Tasawente Nousdidne or in the oasis and continue, passing by some Quartz mines near to Nkob.
