Leave early by transport van, 1.5 hours drive into the mountains. The hike today starts with a long and fairly steep ascend over rocky ground, lunch in a lush almond garden. Short hike in the afternoon to the camp spot, surrounded by mountains on 3 sides.

Today will be long! The day starts with the crossing of 3 mountain passes with steep inclines and declines, so make sure to have a good breakfast. This is followed by a long and slow decline. Keep your eyes open for all the little gardens along the way.

After lunch you will the summit of the highest mountain of the area at ca. 2700m. From here the surroundings change their looks, flowers and bushes are different and the rocks change colour too. You’ll follow a long valley for a few hours followed by a moderate incline and then a short steep decline to the camp location for today. You will overlook the valley of Igli and can see a big “rock” that looks like an elephant.

Decline into the valley, visit the little shop and follow the valley for a few hours. If you are lucky, there is a local nomad family that invites you for tea. From here it is only a short way over a small hill into the hidden valley where you camp for the night. A family built a couple of houses here and has a nice garden. Spend the afternoon making friends with their donkey, climbing the surrounding mountains for spetacular views or just relax.

Today hiking is short and easy. Follow some valleys and canyons on good mule paths. You’ll walk past the Bab ‘n Ali pinnacles, make sure to ask Mohammed for the stories surrounding these. The alst bit of trail follows a river with super colourful stones and beautiful Oleander bushes. The tour ends by the road back to Nkob in a small cafe. Enjoy a coffee and a fresh oranje juice before driving back to town.
