Know More about Adventure Trekking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
