Going on treks can help us connect with nature
Trekking is not just a touristic adventure; it motivates people to go beyond their personal limits while exploring nature. For many, it is also a spiritual adventure.
A trekker is not an ordinary traveller, s/he is a courageous individual set out for an extraordinary journey. Going on treks can change lives and really help us appreciate nature and connect with it.
Here are four of the best trekking spots around the world. Most importantly, they are in our neighbouring countries like Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.
