We hike above the city, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the blue city from high above rather than the streets below.

After a fresh farm breakfast, we begin our trek at 10:00 AM heading into the core of Talassemtane National Park. The first 3 to 4 hours involve an uphill trail through ancient fir forests before we stop for a mountain picnic. We then descend into the remote village of Azilan to stay at a local lodge hosted by my family friend, Ibrahim. We finish the evening with a warm village dinner and relaxed conversation by the fire.
