To reach the village of Imazayn from Tarbat-n-Tirsal, we first headed south-west along a small valley on the northern flank of Jebel Rat to reach Tizi-n-Kark (2850m). Then for a while we followed a level trail on the western side of Jebel Rat before dropping down to Imazayn. We set our tents a short distance beyond Imazayn across Assif Ghast.

 

At Tizi-n-Kark. The level trail that we followed next is barely visible on the left side of the photo.
