About the Trekking Activity
Trekking is an aspect of walking undertaken with the distinct purpose of exploring and admiring the scenery. It usually takes place on tracks in regions of relatively unspoiled nature. Trekking has been compared to meditating because when you climb up to a mountain peak it has an interesting way of calming you down.  You are so aware of your surroundings that it feels relaxing and tiring at the same time since one has a lot of walking to do. Trekking is a positive walking experience that is a mix of hiking and walking in which one can take a multi-day excursion admiring the panorama of rural areas, ridges, and the valleys.
