Many people simply cherish the idea
of an adventure trekking trip or holiday. By etymology, “trek” is derived from
the African cum Dutch language word “Trekken”, which means to pull or to drag.
Even though trek refers to a long, hard journey, it is however not the essence
of the activity.
Many people take trekking as a
stressing activity and find it hard to be taken up as a vacation or holiday
activity. Well, if you have the same views for trekking, the activity might not
just be for you right now, however wait on! As once you are done reading the
blog you might find adventure trekking tour to be pretty interesting.
Trekking is all about satisfying
your exploring streak, as not only is trekking a de-stressing activity, it is
also a way of getting up, close and personal with nature. Trekking allows you
to find your inner self again, only in a more serene atmosphere and offers
every trekker a chance to reconnect with self and life.
Reasons That Compel People to Trek
As I mentioned before, I often am
asked about, “Why do I trek?” For me this question is simply like asking “Why
do you watch TV?” or “Why does the whole world follow football or cricket, or
any other such sport?” I love trekking owing to several reasons, which I will
discuss here today, however since this post is directed towards my readers,
here I would be discussing reasons that normally attract people towards adventure
trekking tours.
Challenge
The very first reason that compels
people to trek is the thrill and challenges that adventure trekking offers.
Whether you are an expert trekker or a novice, the challenge and thrill that
trekking offers is equally exciting for all. Trekking is a very rewarding
activity provided one is willing to put in the required efforts. A trekking
experience calls a person towards several different challenges such as
financial, spiritual, physical, and mental.
Health and Fitness
Trekking offers a chance to improve
fitness as trekking is a test of strength and survival in unexpected rugged
terrains, exerting and reaching a certain level of endurance. Besides the
personal gains that a person receives both physically and mentally, trekking
also brings you a step closer to nature, thus revitalizing you spiritually as
well.
Adventure and Thrill
You can choose to trek on a
commonly visited or popular trek route, or you can choose a less visited, full
of mystery trek, as one reason why people choose trekking as their vacation
activity is the adrenaline rush it offers. Besides all the thrill and
excitement, adventure trekking tours are an excellent way to get away from the
busy grinding of everyday life. It clears the mind of the trekker and offers
new life experiences to cherish later on. It also allows interested individuals
in learning more about the history or culture of a place and is a best way to
raise ones awareness to a particular place.
For those who doubt any of the
aforementioned reasons of trekking, can try a trek route out for themselves to
get a better understanding. There are
several places that offer excellent trek routes, out of which two of my
favorite are the adventure trekking in Himalaya routes and the Indian trekking
routes.
Famous Himalaya Trek Routes
Some worth visiting trek routes in
the Himalaya include firstly the Everest Base Camp Trek, the Manaslu Circuit
Trek, the Langtang Valley, Annapurna circuit, Kathmandu Valley trek, Dhaulagiri
Circuit trek and many other interesting routes of varying difficulties in
Nepal’s Himalayan range.
The Himalayan continues in India as
well and offers some very beautiful adventure trekking in India routes
including the Markha Valley Trek, Chadar Trek, Ganges Gangotri Gaumakh Tapoban
Trek, Dodital trek and several other glaciers that offer some of the most
mesmerizing and overwhelming beauty on the trek routes. I have visited almost all these locations
with the exception of a couple of treks which I am planning to visit soon next
year and the years to come, so that I can explain more intimately what these adventure
trekking routes have to offer.
If
you want to be on the safe side I recommend you to get trekking poles,
the black diamond poles are great for any adventure treks that you will
go to.
