The Allure of the Himalayas

I keep going back to my Everest Base Camp trekking adventure. So many wonderful memories I have of those 10 days trekking. Sometimes I feel I want to do it all over again, but then now I know what's it going to be like, so I feel scared too, even though if it will be second time. For the first time it was all an unknown territory, every day was a new day and new challenge, I was prepared for it but still the challenges did consume me at times. Thinking about it doing it second time, I will be well prepared but still up there every day it is different and you cannot say that you will face the same challenge again. I am thinking what if it can go worse than what I faced.

Every day the terrains were different and the climate was different, as I kept moving up it was getting harder but then there was no turning back, It was just moving up and reach the final destination. And trust me, the Himalayas do support you; they motivate you to climb, they give you the energy to move forward and you never feel alone out there. The day I reached the base camp, it is one of the most memorable days of my life, my body was giving up but my senses were heightened and I was feeling like I was getting more and more closer to my source. I felt like I could touch the sky in that moment, and those few people around me who had also accomplished their mission, we were all rejoicing together our efforts and determination.

While I was preparing for my journey, a lot of people did not support me. They would tell me; I will not be able to do it. I am not a regular trekker, and I am not even in to gym and all. My fitness level is good and that's because of my Yoga, and other forms of fitness. Sometimes if I have to climb down from a height, I have to take support, so a couple of friends did tell me, that it is not in my capacity to do it. That very moment it became a challenge for me and I had to do it. All throughout the journey I stayed in high spirits reminding myself that this is a goal I want to achieve and all the hardships are just temporary.

When I completed it, the same people who demotivated me did message me and say, they did not expect me to complete. I felt their egos were hurt, because they were not really feeling happy for me. When you achieve something of this magnitude your pride sky rockets so from my side, I simply ignored them and from then on kept my distance with those people. It was also an eye opener for me of who my real well-wishers are.
