TREKKING ROUTINE
Trekking is a process of walking through hills and valleys, villages and high passes and some time scaling minor peaks, seeking with an excitement to observe unforgettable events and to acquire knowledge about the people and society other than one's own. Every one of us knows that we are embarking towards 21st Century, with all the possible developments in the information technology to learn about anything, anywhere around the world. However, in the real sense, no one would get as much satisfaction through the mechanized media as they get from their own involvement and hardship. Scientific prosperity whatsoever has no link with eternal mental tranquility that natural realities bear. Trekking through mountains and villages in their most natural forms can be good cause for this realization.
