why do we climb mountains / Y adventure?
I am an industrial engineer a management consultant, I am deeply involved in working with underpriviledged childrwn in Bangalore India, I am also a web designer, With so much of work to be done back home, I do not understand why I get this urge to climb mountains go on treks, most of my friends mostly professionals, feel like running out whenever we get holiday, I havr gone to the himalayas do regular rockclimbing etc, And also organize treks with the Karnatraka mountaineering association, I dont get paid for all the effort, But still I love the adventure. Why does one get this urge??? I can as well relax in the cool comforts of the city. Lot of girls too feel the same urge for adventure . Is that the basic human nature , instinct or what??? wht is the core reason?
Adil makes a good point – but for me it goes beyond the adrenaline rush, it’s a matter of a deep connection to the natural world.
I can’t get the same connection on a quick one-hour hike that I do when I am immersed in nature for a week or longer.
For all our technology and creature comforts – we are still a part of nature. Apparently that feeling resonates strongly in you. I wish more people felt like you do.
