We walked for about 40m-1h until we made it to the Toubkal national park entrance.  Once there we walked on the mountain path for about 1h and 30m before reaching Sidi Chamharouch which is a small village where we stopped for a couple of minutes to have a rest and drink some mint tea. The place itself is built around
