Are you a casual trekker
who has intentionally logged onto the Himalayan Glacier
website in search of that next adventure or are you
an ambitious trekker who has stumbled upon our site
while surfing the net for information? In any case,
have you ever think why you choose to spend weeks for
walking all day in the remote soundless places in the
Himalayas and sleeping in a tent or in a small hut at
night?
When you are at home this type of exercise is called
backpacking or walking. But, the same activities when
you do any part of the world, the term people use is
trekking. What is trekking? Why you go so far away from
home and spend so much time and money to join a trekking
group?
We all, of course,
have our own reasons for participating in such a venture,
but the one common agreement shared by almost all trekkers
is that they want to break out of their day-to-day routines
by walking through an inspiring landscape and interacting
& experiencing a different culture as they travel
to the different countries.

The trail is a nature track has been formed randomly
elsewhere in the mountains or in hills, commonly use
by the local for their day to day life, for each person
walks on his or her own path through life, and each
individual can be largely responsible for the direction
that path may take. For many people, they are walking
on the trails in the Himalayas is a wonderful life time
experience because its natural teachings are not within
a system of organized thought, infect you are free.
The rhythms of the day and the days taken together acquire
a connectedness, unity and dimension that are missing
in urban Western society day by day. People are so busy
and stressful, like a machine.

You
will adjust your life and can put your entire
feelings, with out any tension, walking up and
down, widely visualizing the objects, the places
you are passing through. Of course you will have
chance to case these object in your camera, but
no hurry, sure! You may feel that each day is
more exciting and intensive walking during these
periods of time when your life is altered from
your ordinary routine. Few can fail to be touched
by becoming, for a time, part of the Himalayan
tapestry.
All we know and better known, life, of course,
is a matter of ups and downs like any trail. Believe,
it reminds us both future and past.
When one is going up, and the way is steep
and tiring, is going down, and the way of course is steep
too and challenging. The trail up and hard is real. The
aching bones and burning lungs are real. Yet whfen one
reaches the top and takes a shorter breath, the pain is
soon forgotten and the misery of the climb has been left
behind. Where I have been seems immaterial. Where I am
going is what engages me?

We learn that the pain and the sweat are what life is
about. It is true life is a goal. It is about for aim.
Which we can achieve once we have pain and sweat. Easy
like is not a life likewise easy walk is not a venture.
Trekking is for aim to top. Sweat confirms life. The pain
confirms existence. Trekking teaches us not to pick easy
goals. We should, however, set goals that are realistic
and just beyond our expected reach. They should be carefully
planned and thoughtfully executed.
We will pass many places and encounter many people during
our journey, and when the trek is over we will leave them
behind forever. How we treat them is not as important
for them as for us. Our giving is like receiving. In an
all, we contribute our effort, time and money while on
trekking, guess, what we get venture, experience and aim
of life. |
