Ikkiss is a small village in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, in the Rhirhaia valley. It's just over 2000m above sea level and has a population of about 600 people. There is a small school for the children from the surrounding villages and a local mosque.

[edit] Get In

Open back trucks provides a 'bus' service to Ikkiss along the rutted tracks a couple of times a week from Asni and Imlil. The roads however are very prone to damage due to flooding washing them away. Walking to Ikkiss from Imlil is a reasonable alternative. It's about 5 or 6 miles from Imlil over a mountain pass (about 4 hours walking none-stop)

There may be a very small 'convenience store' (aka someone's house that sold a few things), but it may not be open often, or very permanent.

[edit] Get Out

The only road goes south, back towards Imlil. Paths go East to Tacheddirt and West down the valley towards Asni. It is possible to head West, then head over a pass further West (past the one for Imlil). From there a damp river crossing will get you onto the main road between Imlil and Asni, where hitching back to Asni is easy.
