13-day 4x4 Morocco road trip: feedback on itinerary and desert crossing
Hi everyone,
We’re planning a 13-day family road trip in Morocco this July, with six people in a Toyota Prado 4x4 (renting in Marrakech). We’ll alternate between bivouacking and small hotels/riads depending on the stops.
Here’s the planned route (in this order):
Marrakech → Ouarzazate → Draa Valley → Zagora → Erg Chegaga → Lake Iriki → Foum Zguid → Tata → Tafraoute → Aït Mansour → Tiznit → Mirleft → Taroudant → Back to Marrakech
Our goal:
Atlas Mountains + desert + dunes + plateaus + valleys + a bit of coastline. We’ll cover about 1,700 km in total.
We’re planning:
Bivouacking in the Chegaga/Iriki area Flexible for the rest (booking the day before or same day) Sand gear: traction plates, compressor, tow strap, roof rack
Questions:
Is the Zagora → Chegaga → Iriki → Foum Zguid crossing in July doable on our own (single vehicle, no guide)? Are there any truly technical or risky sections between Chegaga and Iriki? Does the overall itinerary seem manageable in 13 days without rushing? Any suggestions for great bivouac spots or particularly interesting stops along this route? The points on the route are provisional overnight stops. Some spots will include two nights in the same area.
We’re used to off-road driving, but not yet in the Moroccan desert. Thanks in advance for your feedback and tips! 😊

Travel companions for the Egyptian desert in March 2026
Here I am, 80 years old with two trips to Egypt already under my belt, but I still dream of deserts and a bit of adventure. So, I’ve bought my flight ticket for March 4th, returning on the 18th (arrival in Cairo).
My itinerary:
05.03. GEM
06.03. FAYUM OASIS WITH THE VALLEY OF THE WHALES
07. & 08.03. WHITE AND BLACK DESERT
9 & 10.03. ALEXANDRIA, DEPARTURE IN THE EVENING FOR SIWA
11-13.03. SIWA, DEPARTURE IN THE EVENING FOR CAIRO
14-18.03. CAIRO
THE ITINERARY IS MORE OR LESS SET.
Since desert trips can’t be done alone, I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for these parts of the trip, but I’m also open to sharing the entire journey. Everything’s negotiable as long as everyone’s clear about what they do or don’t want to do. If anyone’s interested in this itinerary, you can contact me via private message so we can get to know each other and see if our plans align. Just so you know, these desert trips are done with a 4x4, driver, guide, and all the logistics that come with it. All of that comes at a price, which is quite high if you’re traveling solo—that’s why sharing makes sense. Plus, traveling as a pair or even a trio is great for sharing the emotions of the journey.
I’ve got a lot of travel experience, and even at 80, I’m still sharp and full of enthusiasm to start this trip, which I hope won’t be my last.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Mimi

Looking for feedback on bike touring in Central Asia
Hi everyone,
We’re planning to spend 5 months cycling as a family in Central Asia. To align with the weather, we’re thinking of arriving in Uzbekistan in April, heading toward the Ferghana Valley in late April/early May, and wrapping up with a long stretch in Kyrgyzstan from mid-May to early August.
I haven’t really dug into the third part (Kyrgyzstan) yet, but from what I’ve seen on the forum and online, cycling across Uzbekistan doesn’t seem all that appealing: long, straight desert stretches with lots of trucks.
Has anyone come across any "hidden gem" routes they’d be willing to share? I’ve already noted that it’s best to avoid riding toward Tashkent. I’m looking for routes between Bukhara and Samarkand, and any nearby areas that are nice for cycling.
I’d love to fly into Dushanbe to reach Samarkand, but we all agree that it’s not a good fit for the season (early April) if we’re cycling, right?
Thanks for your feedback! Ludo

Back from 4 weeks in Mongolia
Hi there,
After making good use of the tips on this site, I’m now adding my own contribution.
We’ve just returned from 25 days exploring Mongolia.
A trip that took us from the capital to the Gobi Desert, from the ancient capital Karakhorum to the Orkhon Valley, and also off the beaten path to places close to nature and nomadic life, all thanks to our guide Hacha.
I’m used to traveling as a couple or solo, in "backpacker" mode, and I rarely—or only occasionally—hire a guide. But this time, I have to admit that choosing a guide-interpreter and a driver was an excellent idea.
We set off as a group of four to share the costs. I’d spoken with Hacha, a Mongolian who used to work at the French Alliance, speaks perfect French, and has been organizing trips for over 25 years.
Needless to say, she knows her job inside out and has built strong relationships with nomadic families over the years. Since she only works with small groups, she can steer clear of the main tourist spots. With her help, we were able to personalize our itinerary—and even adjust it as we went along. For example, we’d planned to attend the Naadam festival in a small town, but we found out there was another festival two days later that wasn’t on the schedule. So we tweaked our route to catch both, and we didn’t regret it.
Anyway, if you’d like more details or Hacha’s contact info, feel free to reach out.
Must-See Spots in Vanoise National Park
I’ve lived in Savoie long enough to tell you one thing: Vanoise National Park isn’t just a pretty postcard. Here, nature is vast, untamed, and incredibly alive. Whether you're visiting for a holiday or live in a nearby valley, here are my top picks you shouldn’t miss.
Sleeping in a mountain hut—the best way to experience the mountains
Hiking in Vanoise National Park is already magical, but spending a night in a refuge? That’s sacred. I recommend the glacier tour, a 4- to 7-day trek with stops at huts like L’Arpont, Dent Parrachée, or Leisse. The food’s great, you’ll meet other hikers, and in the early morning, when the sun lights up the peaks, I guarantee you won’t be thinking about your emails. Even a single night at Refuge du Fond d’Aussois or La Valette is enough to unplug.
High-altitude lakes: when the peaks reflect in the water
High-altitude lakes are a bit like my madeleine de Proust. I love climbing up early in the morning when everything’s still quiet. Lac Blanc, starting from Termignon, is a pretty accessible hike, often punctuated by the whistling of marmots. Wilder, Lac de la Glière near Champagny-en-Vanoise is one of my favorite spots for a picnic far from everything.

Glacial valleys—my breath of fresh air
I often go there to reconnect with the mountains, especially when I want a spectacular setting without hours of climbing. The Orgère valley, starting from Saint-André in Maurienne, is a gem. Easy to access, super wild, with its Swiss pine trees and singing streams... You’re instantly immersed in the alpine atmosphere. A little higher up, from Val Cenis/Termignon, I recommend the Cirque du Génépy. It’s an old glacial landscape just the way we love it: rocks smoothed by ice, near-total silence, and a real sense of the end of the world.
Glacier mountaineering at the heart of the ice
For the more athletic (and always with a guide, of course), climbing the Grande Casse, 3,855 m, remains a legendary goal. I’ve only done it once, but what a rush! You’ll need crampons, an ice axe, and good fitness, but the view up there is indescribable. There are also more accessible glacial routes around Pointe de la Réchasse or the Dôme de Chasseforêt.
Gateways to Vanoise National Park
Bonneval-sur-Arc... this little village perched at 1,835 meters, I never get tired of it. It’s kept its charm: stone houses, slate roofs, fountains... It’s simple, everything’s beautiful. It’s also a great base for hiking in the park. And then there’s Pralognan-la-Vanoise, my favorite gateway. It’s a mountain village just the way I like them—quiet streets, typical chalets, and above all, direct access to incredible landscapes.

Beginner bike touring on the Via Rhona
Hi there,
New to bike touring,
I’d love to start with a section of the Via Rhona to explore and share (route to be decided).
Looking forward to exchanging tips!
M'Goun: which side to start the ascent?
Hey everyone!
I’m heading to Morocco in 2 weeks to climb M'Goun.
Which side is the most practical for logistics, please? I’ll be hiring a muleteer/cook.
I’m torn between starting from the Happy Valley (Agouti, Aït Bouguemez) or the southern slope (Skoura, Kalaat El M'Gouna).
I tried to go 5 years ago, 2 weeks before COVID, and ended up switching to Siroua based on Willempsie’s advice, given the season... but mid-May should be fine now, right?
Thanks for your help,
Pacoloco
Imi n’Ifri to Agouti Road (Morocco)

Trip to the south of Agadir
Hi there,
I'm currently planning our trip to Morocco for next May.
We're looking to explore a part of the country we haven't visited yet, and I'd love to get some opinions or tips for my itinerary.
We'll have a rental Duster to get around.
-1- Marrakech to the Paradise Valley, arriving in the late afternoon. 2 nights there so we can explore the next day.
-2- From Paradise Valley to Tafraout.
Along the way, we'd like to visit some agadirs (Ikounka, Imeghguiguilne, Ighir, Tizourgane). I'm wondering if we'll have time to see them all, if we should visit all of them or skip some? Or if there are other suggestions?
-3- I plan to stay 3 nights in Tafraout.
Night 1 we might arrive late.
The following days to visit the village of Tagdicht, the Blue Rocks, and the Ait Mansour Valley.
Doable? Road or track conditions? Too much or too little time? Anything else to see?
-4- I was thinking of taking the road to visit the underground village of Icht.
Then heading to Tata to visit the Tollé and/or Messalites caves.
Same questions as before (road conditions, time, anything else)?
-5- Road to Tissint for a walk.
Road to Taliouine to visit the Glaoui kasbah.
Spend the night around there.
Same questions?
-6- Road and visit to the Ifri granary.
Then head to a part of Morocco we already know :-)
Anyway, quite a few questions...
Since we've been to Morocco several times before, I know there won't be any issues once we're there. It's just that I'm trying to plan ahead a bit so we don't miss what there is to see in the area, without rushing too much ;-)

Are there flights arriving in Urgench and returning from Tashkent?
Hello,
As a senior woman, I’m planning a 3-week solo trip (late April or early May) to explore the country by public transport, visiting the main cities (Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand), the Ferghana Valley, and if possible, the Aral Sea.
I’m reaching out to the community to see if there are flights arriving in Urgench and returning from Tashkent—or the other way around?
Thanks in advance to anyone with insights! 😉
Val Cenis in winter
Several years ago, I discovered the Val Cenis resort. It was love at first sight, and I’ve been going back whenever I can. Plus, the Haute Maurienne valley is stunning, and you can take the opportunity to visit Bessans and Bonneval-sur-Arc. It’s truly a beautiful place where authenticity is preserved, perfect for spending a few days in the mountains during winter and skiing. I wrote an article about this resort on my blog:

Recap of 6 weeks in Sumatra April-May 2024
Sumatra at a leisurely pace, from mid-April to the end of May—pure bliss!
Outbound/inbound flight to Kuala Lumpur to reach Medan, then our stops: Medan - Berastaggi - Toba / Ambarita - Ketambe - Pulau Nias / Teluk Dalam - Bukittinggi - Harau Valley - Padang / Rimba.
A journey shaped by the ethnic groups: the Bataks around Berastaggi and Toba, the Ono Niha on Nias Island, and the Minangkabaus starting from Bukittinggi. Christians in the north and Muslims in a matrilineal society at the end of the trip. Rare animals in their natural habitat, orangutans in the canopy and hawksbill turtles within snorkeling distance.
Though Sumatra isn’t a hotspot for Western tourists, it’s incredibly easy to explore Indonesia’s largest island.
Since there were four of us and the journeys are very long (avg. 30 km/h), we opted for taxis between regions and rented scooters on-site; 3 days trekking in the primary forest of Gunung Leuser and guesthouses for accommodation the rest of the time, meals at local warungs.
As I struggled to find info on Nias Island before our trip (thanks to Filemich for reassuring me about this stop), I’ll focus on this destination!
We took an overnight ferry (https://www.wjl-line.com) from Sibolga to Teluk Dalam, in a 4-person cabin, and stayed at Taman Baloho Indah guesthouse, a bit outside the town and by the Indian Ocean—I highly recommend it. You can reach Erwin, the owner (a name from Dutch colonization), via WhatsApp at +62 812 6074 2874. He rents scooters and can also take you fishing if you ask, then you get to enjoy the fish cooked by his wife.
Thanks to our guide Nitra (WhatsApp: +62 822 1383 9300), a young woman passionate about her history, we explored the east coast to visit a megalithic site, then crisscrossed the island’s interior for several days, from village to village, all still very traditional. She lives in Bawomataluo, the most famous of them. She was our gateway to her world, its rituals, and customs. We spent a week on the island—absolute heaven!
Don’t hesitate to ask me about places, accommodations, or contacts for taxis or guides from our long stay—I’d be happy to answer!

What circuit to do in Morocco in January?
Hi there,
I already know Morocco a bit (8th trip), but not much in winter (early January).
Reading travel journals made me want to do the following 12-day circuit (10 days on site): Marrakech (my flight is booked) - Ouzoud Waterfalls - Tessaout Valley - Skoura - Aguinane Oasis - Taroudant - Marrakech
Has anyone already done this itinerary? We’re renting an ordinary car. Is the R307 road passable in winter? Same question for access to the village of Megdaz? And finally, can we reach Aguinane Oasis from the N10 without too much trouble? Is it worth the detour? Any other suggestions for the circuit?
Thanks in advance for your replies...

Biking the Pamir Highway in summer 2025 (Tajikistan)
Hi there,
I’m looking for 1 or 2 travel companions for the Pamir Highway in summer 2025 (dates to be confirmed). I’m 65 and have quite a bit of bike-travel experience.
The route is flexible depending on preferences (Wakhan Corridor, Bartang Valley, etc.).
Feel free to get in touch! !
Biking Across New York State on the Empire State Trail
From Buffalo to New York City, the Empire State Trail is a 900 km route specifically designed for biking, with 75% on dedicated bike paths.

A special train with bike spaces runs almost the entire route. First along the Erie Canal to Albany, then through the Hudson Valley all the way to the tip of Manhattan. This lets you skip sections and also return to your starting point without having to take a flight. Just be aware that bike spaces need to be reserved and can fill up during peak times. In June, no problem though.
This aspect really appealed to me, since my last trip had kinda put me off biking in the US. But here, 75% on dedicated paths, plus that legendary finish in NYC with your bike—I couldn’t resist celebrating my 70th birthday this way.
https://empiretrail.ny.gov/map
Two branches to reach NYC: from Buffalo (mostly on dedicated paths) or from Montreal (mostly on roads)
The route was developed in just three years. While it’s popular with cyclists on certain stretches near cities, those who bike the whole thing are still pretty rare.
It’s true that the scenery isn’t exactly breathtaking, and some sections—especially along the Erie Canal—can feel a bit tedious, though they’re very easy since there’s no elevation.
The trail starts in Buffalo, but since my bus from Toronto goes straight to Niagara, I’ll be starting at the falls instead. Plus, that’s where the direct train to NYC departs from (and arrives at).

Trek de la Tsum Valley (Népal) English translation pending
Lors de mon dernier trek au Népal au printemps dernier, dans la région de Laprak ( près de Gorkha), j’ai vu pour la première fois quelques tracts publicitaires, dans un village, pour la visite de la Tsum valley, apparemment une vallée assez reculée, dans l’ ouest du Népal. Si quelqu’un parmi les membres de Voyage Forum a des informations sur la difficulté de ce trek, sur la durée en termes de jours, etc, et si une agence népalaise ou française est spécialisée pour randonner et faire du trekking dans la Tsum vallée, je le ou la remercie d’avance. 🙂

Je suis perplexe, du fait que les principales agences francophones proposent des programmes du type "pettite traversee du Zanskar" en assurant que les parcours évitent soigneusement les pistes.... Je ne sais à qui me fier . Quelqu'un peut il m'aider ?

Dilemme Baïkal: Olkhon "hyper" touristique à vélo ou Ust-Bargouzine et sa presqu'île English translation pending
Bonjour,
Nous, une amie et moi, allons voyager à bord du transsibérien, avec de lourds sacs à dos, durant l'été et passer 5 jours dans la zone du lac Baïkal au mois de juillet. Ce qui est hélas fort peu pour un si jolie endroit et nos cœurs balancent entre l'île touristique de Olkhon et la vallée de Barguzine / Ust-Barguzine. Ainsi si d'aventure quelqu'un aurait un avis éclairé sur nos interrogations nous vous serions fortement reconnaissant de nous l'exposer :
- Olkhon est-elle si touristique que ça ? J'ai trouvé comme nombre 8000 personnes l'été (contre 2000 l'hiver), mais comment sont-elles répartis ? En effet nous allons nous trouver à 15 kms au NE de Khoujir, voit-on des centaines de personne défiler à chaque instant sur les pistes et les plages ?
- Quand à Ust-Bargouzine il est de notoriété qu'elle est plus "authentique" et moins courue mais est-elle aussi jolie que Olkhon, notamment sa presqu'île Sviatoï Nos est-elle propice à la randonnée "moyenne" (pas d'alpinisme en somme) ? - Dans cette même zone, est-il raisonnable de se risquer dans les montagnes au nord (vers la réserve naturelle de Barguzine) ? Sont-elles pleines d'ours (questions naïves certes) et des sentiers sont-ils tracés ? Est-ce accessible pour de petits européens peu expérimenté, c'est notre 1er "grand" voyage ? Depuis les images satellites, je ne vois aucune infrastructure. - Surtout est-il possible de louer des véhicules à Ust-Barguzine, et pour quel prix évidemment ? Les sites de location généralistes ne proposent même pas cette destination et les autres sont en russe
- Enfin, j'ai lu quelques posts de Meg2 indiquant la probable inexistence de ferry entre Ust-Barguzine et Olkhon / Irkustk, c'était en 2017, est-ce que cela a changé ? Car de plus j'ai trouvé une phrase dans un post désormais perdu indiquant que des voyageurs avaient traversés le lac à bord d'bateau, je ne sais hélas pas si il s'agit d'une liaison régulière. Alors qui croire ?
Voilà si donc quelqu'un pourrait nous aider à nous décider en fonction de notre situation nous serions soulagé. Merci par avance

Séjour en Colombie English translation pending
La Colombie est un pays magnifique devenu très sur. Nous sommes partis à deux couples (plus de 70 ans) et avons passé une quinzaine de jours. Nous avons fait un circuit habituel : Bogota, Villa de leyva, Barichara, la région du café, la vallée de cocora, Medellin , Santa Marta et pour finir Catagèna. Nous avons eu des hôtels confortables et très variés, passant chaque fois au moins deux nuits dans chaque, voire trois, ce qui permet un rythme agréable et pas trop fatigant. Nous avons fait appel à un voyagiste Colombien : aventure Colombie (interlocuteur: Rudy) agence franco colombienne. L'organisation était impécable, chauffeurs et guides (francophones) toujours à l'heure, disponibles et très aimables. Je ne peux que recommander cette agence (dont j'avais eu d'excellents avis sur ce site), elle est d'ailleurs le correspondant sur place de certains voyagistes français. Allez en Colombie ça vaut la peine et vous verrez aussi les plus belles émeraudes du monde !!!
