What to BringSaghro Trekking 10 Days discover the beautiful trekking spot and enjoy the diversity of the beautiful landscapes of the Saghro Mount during 10 days Trek in Saghro with a professional mountain guide. You should prepare for Atlas Trekking in the same way you would for any other mountain climb; the weather in the mountains can quickly change from sunshine to snow and bitterly cold winds (autumn through late spring). Please take only what you brought in and do not leave any rubbish behind.
Atlas Treks are tailored to the season and your degree of fitness. You may either stay at Berber Guesthouses and go for daily hikes from there, or you can go on a two-day Atlas Mule Trek. On mule treks, lodging at a Berber Guesthouse/with families or wild camping in two-person tents are common options. In addition to conventional gear, here’s a checklist for Atlas Trekking:
