Hiking is a great sources of pleasure for us besides being beneficial for health. Once we leave the crowded streets of a city and go out for a walking tour away from the mad world, we really feel free.
The open air has a bracing effect on the mind. The congestion of the city, the uproar and tumult, the intolerable noise of traffic, the depressing daily routine all these are forgotten and the mind is at liberty. We then feel like running, leaping, singing and laughing. How merrily we travel mile after mile in the company of friends.
Hiking takes us near the beauties of nature. The sight of wild flowers, streams, trees and bushes is pleasing. A contact is established between us and nature. The sounds of nature, like the murmur of a brook or the song of a bird, acquire a new meaning and significance for us.
Hiking is one of the healthiest sports. It ensures a complete escape from the urgent and busy activities of life and therefore gives to the brain the rest it needs. Because of this rest, the brain regains its lost energy and is enabled to do twice as much work as before.
