Undiscovered Atlas

A wonderful get away from it all trek, well organised, great scenery, food, leaders and fellow travellers.

A superbly organised trip. The Moroccan team were so smooth that it appeared an effortless transition from campsite to campsite. 

Great trip spectacular views

I have been on many similar trekking trips but this was the first time that I travelled with Exodus. I did not quite know what to expect compared to other companies but from start to finish the holiday was well organised and thoroughly enjoyable partially due to Exodus but mainly due to the leader, Mohammed and his support team. We were plagued with truly abysmal weather for the first half of the week: sub zero temperatures for much of the day and gales ( which are,apparently, very rare!! ). My tent broke in the middle of the first night requiring an emergency decamp to the mess tent and then collapsed together with about 50% of the other tents, the mess tent and the toilet tent ( which blew away down into the valley ), on the second. Strangly, though, these experiences added to the bonding within what was a truly great group rather than detracting from it. I will admit that this may be a peculiarly British tendency!! The cimb to the top of Jebel Aklim in bright but arctic conditions was truly inspirational and the night that followed in the teacher's house in Tagara ( Mohammed opted for this as an alternative to a third night of camping to allow us more than three hours sleep!! ) a humbling revelation. For the second half of the holiday the weather reverted to more normal conditions for the time of year, we actually were able to strip down to less than three layers for the first time and continued in this vein to the end. The scenery throughout was tremendous. The walking well paced and interesting although as previous reviewers have stated VERY VERY ROUGH and the group amazing: Totally FABULOUS!!! (will stop here as I have run out of superlatives!! )

Undiscovered Atlas is a great week of trekking, which, for me, was pitched at the right level. There were some challenging parts to the trek, but not so difficult that it was not enjoyable. It was great to visit a remote part of the country, where there were few tourists, but the locals were very friendly and welcoming. I felt like I had a proper break away from normal life, which felt great! The food was simple, but fabulous and I enjoyed it all. I would definitely recommend this trip to others.

Group of 16, with 12/4 f/m split, aged late 40s to late 60s. Trip is accurately rated on the Exodus scale - so some fairly stretching treks mixed with highly enjoyable steep sections. Everybody got round with no significant difficulty. Weather in mid-March was really nice - pretty warm at times by day but mostly ideal, and chilly but nothing more dramatic than that at night even at higher camps. Lovely inclusive group chemistry with non-stop chatter. Food is terrific - really quite something for a field kitchen. Just when the idea of another tagine is becoming a little less inspirational then along comes Berber omelette with chips to die for. In general camp life is a bit cushier than the notes might suggest - toilet obviously pretty basic but you learn to adapt. Tents are snug but no trouble sleeping after days like that. And the final day has an optional hamam visit in Taroudant - do not even consider turning it down - it's the real thing, and not the flaky tourist version elsewhere. A glorious experience.

A little blast of sunshine, exercise, stunning scenery and friendship forming to escape the November weather in the UK (although, the wind and cold on the first night did make me wonder if I'd chosen the right trip but it just got better and better in every way.)

You really feel like you have entered another world - the landscape is wild, barren and astonishingly beautiful.

If you love wild, untouched remote places -- clean, clear air and stunning rugged, raw mountain scenery -- and the sensation of having to walk to get there -- then you'll love this trip. A trip back in time -- biblical scenes of robed goat  herds and women collecting water from wells and streams.  

This trip takes you to an area of Morocco which certainly feels remote and untouched by tourism. If you like to meet people from a different culture who are genuinely friendly and welcoming, and to walk in wide open landscapes then you'll enjoy this trip. The high point of the trip is the ascent of Jebel Aklim, which gives excellent views of the High Atlas and towards the Sahara.
