Mountain trekking - what kind of bird?

Trekking is a relatively new, but rapidly growing way to explore the world. No one has long been interested in just lying on the sunbeds on the hotel grounds or riding a bus with a crowd of Chinese people. Trekking is for those who want to see more than guidebooks tell. Trekking is for those who prefer a local resident’s house high in the mountains, on a hilltop under a starry sky or at a cliff of a sheer cliff to a hotel. This type of vacation is for travelers, not tourists.

There are places that cannot be reached otherwise than only on foot. And that’s where it all just begins. But in order to feel this place completely and reap the benefits, you must definitely try. Walk slowly, look around and breathe deeply, marvel and wonder. You will get tired in the evening , but this fatigue will be pleasant. After all, you can feel livelier than all the living, when you finally come to point B, take off your shoes from tired legs, move your fingers, look at the boundless starry sky above your head, make a fire and sing a song about love, about the world. Only at such moments you realize that you do not exist , you really live.

Hiking (trekking) is whole days surrounded by Eternity, frozen in stone, in peace and tranquility, paving the route away from busy hiking trails. Yes, trekking is great meditation, and wildlife helps to be present just  here-and-now. So  there is no hot bath and the Internet, but there is the sky above your head, which is closer and closer with every step. And these huge stones are the magic fragments of history that have been standing here for thousands of years.

Hiking is certainly nights in tents,  simple healthy food, tastier of which, it seems, nothing happens, especially on the third day, after a long transition. There is pain in the whole body, adrenaline from adventure on the way. Without noticing it, we recall the important ability to be together and think not only about ourselves. Conversations around the campfire turn out to be meaningful and necessary, because surrounded by these peaks and huge stars you feel like in space, but will you talk about empty things in space? Here, in the mountains, you remember how it is to be truly clear and happy.
