Why to go for Treks --- More often????
Greetings friends, many a times I meet people who have
only 1 Question in their mind for me…
“Tu ghar pe
rehta hai ki nahi? Kya milta hai tujhe TREKs karke?”
Well gave a thought and decided to answer them here.
Get away from
the Chaotic City Life: most people tend to visit the same Malls and do
shopping and other stuff and by end of Sunday start cribbing about the weekend
that went so fast. While trekking you get away from the chaotic and Polluted
CITY lifestyle and enjoy a day in the lap of nature.
Explore Nature:
we get to see various species of animals, birds, flowers, plants and many more…
and more than that the locals tend to be so grateful with your visit, they
present the best for you whatever they got.
Stamina:
many a times there are steep climbs or slopes where you get to know that this
is not a joggers park walk, you have to be constantly gearing yourself up and
maintain the stamina. Doing frequent treks helps in increasing your stamina
that will inturn help you maintain your stress level in city life.
Optimal use of
resources: once you start the trek, you have to be cautious while using
the resources that you have. That includes food, water and other consumables.
So you tend to use them cautiously and optimally. At times when you exhaust
your resource you get to know their importance. Most important is WATER. Where
we Urbaners waste water like anything, Rural folks die for a drop of water.
Explore
alternatives: in case of emergency we look for options/ alternatives
for travel, food etc
Discipline:
you tend to manage things properly and learn new life hacks when with the
group. Each person has his unique experience to share that he learnt from past
experience. Many groups strive to maintain cleanliness while on treks and also
urge people to implement it in day to day life.
Improved
Concentration: when you set out for a trek, you have to keep your
senses active all the time as you may encounter something that you don’t see or
may not see anywhere else. Kind of “this might be the Last chance” thing.
Flow of
Positive Energy into the soul: I feel the Colour GREEN is the major
source of positive energy. You get to see the innumerable shades of Green that
act as a stress buster for the upcoming stressful week
Experience the
Village life: We get close to village life and locals during treks and
here we understand that many a times their income source depends on us. i.e,
the trekkers/ groups that visit and these locals provide them with food/ lunch
at reasonable rates.
Social
responsibility: only then we realize that 5 figured salary provides you
with living, but the 100rs thali/ lunch gives you inner peace.
Conservation:
many forts in Maharashtra are turning to ruins and may not sustain the
urbanization. Its our duty to preserve the heritage and history which needs to
be passed on to future generation.
A Bright future
for the future generations to come: we have already set the clock for
destruction that might be killing our coming generation. While on treks you realize
the importance of nature and its balance that needs to be maintained only by
us. We do not have the Right to Alter the World we live in. We have borrowed it
from our Fore fathers and have to hand it over to the coming Generation.
Lets join hands and pledge for a bright future for the
upcoming generation by changing our way of living and also implement some good
habits in our kids from now on.
Thanks for reading and appreciate your assistance in
improving our and the future generation.
Regards,
Sumeet Rao (Kavya Tours and Treks)
