You must trek with your “partner” once!!!
Can be a fiancé in critical cases :P
About me : I am a normal person with no exceptional achievements in my life (yet). If you are reading this, you may also consider yourself in my category too. A person for whom crossing that thin boundary of yes/ no decision is always as same as for any general to declare a war on enemy nation.
So coming to our topic — TREK.

I always use to think —
- Why do people trek?
- Why to exhaust your body and mind just to climb some steep mountain?
- Why there are so many quotes about travelling?
Solving the biggest question : Why to TREK?
Is is just a tiring journey to see the mountains? (Usually its Himalayas for Asians). But the bigger question is why? And that too SOLO-TRIPS, a nightmare for me!

So I finally took a legendary step to go to one of the famous hilly areas in Himachal Pradesh, India (always heard it from my adventurous friends). Actually the bigger motivation was one girl in the group with whom I decided to gather this courage. We had a connection (I guess). Thought it will be a good time. Alone time. Away from that hectic work, stupid office colleagues. But I went with a group of 8 people (biggest mistake I’ll say)!
Metaphor : TREK is the demo of your life journey
But on my 1st treck I started finding it an interesting task. But what was that? Couldn’t think much while going up as I was panting all the time. But while coming down I had an interesting observation. I was alone. On treks you are on your own speed. If you look closely, a trek is behaving like a short form of a long journey of life. You realize how strong you can be, know your limits. You meet different people on the way going up and coming down. For some it’s just a “hi” and some stay longer (becomes your trek friends). How you can survive your worst patch, you are always moving on even if your legs are hurt, have rest when exhausted and then again contiue with your journey. It’s so comparable. When you are down you always get up to complete that stretch telling your self that you are almost done.

But this time it was different for me, I was not alone. If I would be with my fiancé, the same girl with whom I am going to swear my life. I was about to explore a new different level of my relationship with her. Throughout my journey I had most unexpected, most aesthetic and most dreadful experiences of my life. But the most beautiful moments were about :
- Her rawness. When she was without worldliness, no boundations, no society to prove them.
- A demo of my life with her. Realization of how much stronger she is than me. I was panting and she was awesome.
- I was able to figure out : who is she when she is surrounded by judgemental people and who is she actually when no one is around.
- The most important : Felt the true her. Answer to the decision whether you can stay with her life long.
So finally I had my answer. I was back to my regular life but with something more beautiful this time. A different myself with her :)
P.S — I got the my trekking partner in a gorgeous form of woman. Hope you get yours.
