The Berber hilltop village called Aroumd is great target for half day trek from Imlil and back. It is also good starting point for two day trek to the top of Jebel Toubkal, North Africa's tallest peak, but we do not have enough time to get it done - maybe next time...
The trek from Imlil is uphill all the way, with little shade via stony valley where mule carry stuff up and down the well defined trial.
Aroumd village sits 1900m above sea level and has population just below 2000 people which makes it the largest village in Mizane Valley. It is extraordinary looking place, built on a huge moraine spur above the valley. Steep-tiered fields of potatoes, onions, barley and various kinds of fruit line the valley sides, their terraces edged with purple iris. Berbers are friendly and kids are keen to look at the camera and chat a bit, even when we speak only English and they Moroccan.
