“Taking a break from the hustle and bustle, and letting nature do its magic. “
Have you ever felt that you need a break somewhere amidst the hustle and bustle of the city and work? Something that can refresh and energize you again? That is why I always choose hiking to spend time in nature. Whenever I feel that I need some time with myself, I take myself to these hiking trails. It not only gives me peace but also refreshes the body. Come, let me tell you about those trails which you must visit this season.
1. Experience of walking in the mountains
Where to go: Himachal, Uttarakhand, Darjeeling
Why to go: Whenever I think of mountains, the first thing that comes to my mind is cool breeze and lush greenery. Once while trekking to Mcleodganj in Himachal, the peace I felt cannot be described in words. Snow-capped peaks, beautiful valleys and fresh air—it all feels like you are in a different world.
With every step I feel like I am connecting with my true self. This is why I recommend you, if you ever need peace, head to the mountains.
My tip:
It is very important to carry good shoes and enough water when going to the mountains. You may get tired on the way, so keep some snacks with you too.
2. The feeling of being lost in the woods
Where to go: Bandipur National Park, Satyanarayana Jungle Trail
Why to go: Walking in the jungles always gives me a different experience. The air, the trees, and the sound of the birds—everything is so different and beautiful. I once went on a jungle safari in Bandipur National Park in Karnataka. While walking there, I saw an elephant—that moment was unforgettable for me. Walking in the lap of the jungle, it feels like the whole nature is with you.
My tip:
If you are in the forest, enjoy the peace and quiet to the fullest. Walk slowly, and feel those small moments. Take a camera with you, because the views and natural beauty of the forest teach a lot.
3. Relax by the sea
Where to go: Goa, Ooty, Kovalam
Why to go: The seashore—it’s a place where I forget all my tiredness. Once while walking on a quiet beach in Goa, I was lost in the rays of the sun. The sound of the waves and the cool breeze made me completely relaxed at that moment. The experience of hiking near the sea is beyond words.
When you walk along the seashore it feels like time itself has stopped, and there is just this connection between us and nature.
My tip:
When going near the sea, be sure to carry sunscreen and a hat. You will get a lot of relief from the heat. Do not forget to take care of water, so that you remain fresh while hiking.
4. Finding peace by the river
Where to go: Rishikesh, Narmada River, Shibpur
Why to go: Hiking along the Ganges River in Rishikesh—it was an experience I will always remember. Walking along the river, the gentle sound of the water and the peace all around gave me a different energy. Hiking along the river feels like every step is connecting you to your true identity.
My tip:
Always be careful while walking near the river. If you are taking part in any activity in the water, take full care of safety.
5. Peace in the streets of villages
Where to go: Small villages of Himachal, villages of Uttarakhand
Why to visit: The atmosphere, the simplicity there—there is something different. Once while roaming in a small village in Himachal, the peace and happiness I felt was very special. Hiking in villages gives us a feel of the true form of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
My tip:
When visiting villages, ask the local people about their lifestyle. This will give you a good opportunity to understand their culture.
Conclusion: Spending time in nature not only refreshes your body, but it also gives peace and balance to your soul. It makes us feel the real meaning of our lives.
