On
perhaps the wildest ride of our lives, we took an off road 4x4, 300km round trip from the Todra valley to the Dades valley and
gorge, an eight hour dirt road trip through the high atlas mountains
as featured in:
We
spent most of the day grinning at the wow factor of the ever changing
landscape taking more photos than a Japanese tourist as we tried to
illustrate this vast vista.
Our
circuit started out from Baddou campsite in Tamtatouchte and our
guide was Ahmed the campsite owner. From there we headed north in his
4x4.

The
asphalt ends at Agoudal the most northerly point of our circuit, a
fertile valley farming village.

This
is the time of year that nomads move down the mountains for the
winter as this area will become impassable due to snow cover.
