The WildWanderer: Why to go for Treks --- More often????

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.
