Altitude Sickness Prevention Measures:
* Gradual Ascent: The itinerary is designed for slow and steady altitude gain, giving your body time to acclimatize naturally.
* Hydration: Participants are strongly encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the trek (at least 3 liters per day).
* Pacing: The guide will set a moderate pace, avoiding overexertion, especially during steeper sections.
* Rest Breaks: Frequent breaks are planned during the ascents to allow for rest and adjustment.
* Overnights at High Altitude: Staying overnight at Tamsoult Refuge (2550m) and Toubkal Refuge (3207m) helps with acclimatization before the summit day.
* Guide Monitoring: Your experienced guide is trained to recognize symptoms of altitude sickness and will assist accordingly if needed.
* Emergency Response: Mules and logistical support are available for immediate evacuation to lower altitudes in case of severe symptoms.
