Trekking on a mountain has a lot of well known physical benefits, including incredible cardio conditioning, muscle development and bone mineral density. But there are equally impressive mental benefits as well. Trekking is a great way to relieve stress. You feel completely in control of your environment, and you'll be surprised at how much this reduces your blood pressure. You will also build problem-solving skills, confidence and self-reliance. Trekking can help you connect to nature and become more aware of your natural surroundings. You'll make long-lasting friendships with your fellow trekking partners. Trekking is a great way to keep yourself healthy and fit, especially as you get older.
