At Nature Knights trekking is a passion; a spiritual journey; a sense of freedom; a sense of bonding with Nature and Friends. Trekking is also about discovering more about yourself.
Trekking is a journey of a day or a multi-day hiking trip taking you to rural, often rugged country territory. Trekking is a way of getting from place to place and can be incorporated with a number of other outdoor sports, such as rock climbing or backpacking, river rafting, safari, wild life safari, fort exploration etc.
Trekking is different from other sorts of travel for a few different reasons. It tends to be less-structured than other sort of travel, as weather conditions and topography help influence travel plans more than plane flights or hotel availability. As travelers move on foot through often-rural areas, trekking gives travelers an up-close view of incredible scenery. Many trekkers travel through isolated areas, giving them an experience much different than those who travel in organized groups to more-popular destinations. It often allows them to interact with nature, doing anything from climbing a rock wall to navigating across a mountain or entire mountain range.
Trekking can be done anywhere in the world. Several areas are particularly popular with travelers, including the mountainous regions such as the Western Ghats in West India, Himalayas in India and other parts of Asia, the Andes in South America to many other places across the world including Africa, Australia, and Amazon etc.
Several pieces of gear help make trekking more enjoyable. One is a comfortably-fitting backpack. Many trekkers travel for extended periods and need to carry all of their belongings with them. A sturdy backpack can comfortably fit more than 20-40 pounds (10-20 kilos) of clothing and gear. Another important item is sturdy hiking boots. When covering long distances, wearing the right pair of boots can make the difference between enjoying a trip and being in pain. Other survival equipment, such as warm clothing, a first aid kit and a supply of food and water are also very important.
Trekking is best attempted initially with someone who has experience or in a professionally-led group. This can help introduce those new to trekking to the special skills required to successfully make an overland journey of significant length. A number of outdoor stores and organizations offer classes and plan trips that can help give an idea of the gear and physical ability required in trekking.
