WHAT IS TREKKING
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.
