Why take this tour?

Get off the tourist trail! Experience the beautiful Todgha Gorges in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains in a different way-- on a spectacular mountaineering route. Accompanied by an FFME certified mountain sports instructor, you'll hike/scramble/climb your way high onto the Todra plateau via the Sunrise Ridge--so named because it's the first face of rock to greet the sun each morning. After reaching the summit, you'll hike across the plateau and descend through a canyon on nomad trails, passing local nomadic people tending their goat herds high on the rocky terrain. A fantastic way to spend a day, combining adventure and an intimate look at authentic Moroccan life.
