“It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves”
For most of us who have odd work hours and relentless work pressure, getting a leave from work is an absolute luxury. And even when we do get leave, they are spent in winding up other usual household chores which again becomes hectic. if you are serious about switching off and unwinding then first switch off your mobile, and go for a trek in the mountains. Here is why you should try this imeediately.
You truly get to relax
On a high mountain peak, no internet, no mobile and no email can reach you and you truly get to relax. Which means you get a much needed break from your boss and your household chores.
You get close to nature
Trekking and climbing a mountain gets you very close to the nature. You tend to appreciate the little things and appreciate the wonder that is our planet.
You get to sleep under stars
City life does not give you a chance to sleep under stars and people are mostly confined to the bedroom. Going on a trek means that you will be away from the pollution of the city and will sleep under the stars. You will still need mosquito repellent though.
You realize your physical limits
Trekking a mountain requires lots of physical stamina. It will not only help you in realizing what your limits are, but will also provide you with a chance to push and expand those limits. In fact this experience is a valuable life lesson and can be applied to other fields of life.
