The attention and focus you need when preparing to embark on a trek is therapeutic to me. It puts you in the right state of mind. The process of preparation comes down to every detail. Having the right clothes, knowing the route, having backup plans, etc. These are all the things one must consider during the process, which puts me in a state of focus and excitement. It’s critical to have all the right items and essentials before heading off into the beauty of the Himalayas. Even though preparation comes before trekking, it’s just as crucial as being a part of the journey. While preparing, you can feel the anticipation of doing something amazing and deeply satisfying for the mind and body. Trekking is an experience that immerses you in the raw beauty of nature while getting great exercise for the body.  Even though trekking can be challenging at times. Knowing you have done the preparation gives you peace of mind while trekking. The power that preparation gives me is added fuel to embark on the adventure. Preparation for me is a truly satisfying experience!
