My First Night Trekking Experience
I always wondered how early men kept on moving from one place to another without any means of transportation not only during daytime but also during nighttime. I imagined how they must have perceived the night world? What motivated them to explore the new world? The answer according to me should be the beauty of nature and the adventure involved in exploration.
Night trekking had always been a fantasy to me till the day…..oops I mean till the night I stepped into the woods to explore a new life. The moon was peeping through the dense forest as if he was also engrossed in the activity that night. The nocturnal life was welcoming us. The cool breeze was pushing me forward and I was really curious to see what Mother Nature held in itself.
Few days ago, I was enjoying my evening coffee at my terrace, when I got a call from one of my friends informing me about a night trek planned by our group on a full moon night as moon light was a help in the dark, although we were going to carry torches with us. We planned the day, time and locale. I was so excited for the night trekking that I did all my preparations a day before.
Our group assembled at the decided locale on time. We all were very excited as night trekking not only included fun and adventure but it was all the way a very different experience. Our group included few members who had experienced a night trek before as it was important from the safety point of view. Thorough study of the locale had been done to get aware of the presence of wildlife.
Our group started trekking through the ups and downs, through dense and barren, and through the thrill of adrenaline. The whole night trek was so exhilarating and we were so lost in the nocturnal beauty that we forgot the time. When it was 4 am, we decided to head back to the concrete world leaving the woods, moon and breeze behind; but of course yes, taking their sweet memories with us forever and a promise to return back soon.
