Trekking

Trekking is all about enjoying a great walking holiday. You can choose whichever type of trek suits you. It could be just a day trip. You could also work out a holiday where you go trekking during the day, but return every night to a lodge for a hot meal and a comfortable bed. The hills and the mountains are alluring and you will soon find yourself addicted to them. Trekking is not a risky affair as far as your health is concerned, but it does demand a certain level of fitness that will enable you to enjoy a good day’s walking, uphill and down. The best preparation for trekking is cycling, swimming, jogging and long walks. What is Rock climbing

Rock climbing

Rock climbing is the sport of scaling rocks, using special equipment. Learn the right way to use your climbing equipment because poor use can prove very risky. Climbing calls for mental and physical strength, flexibility, agility and endurance. To help climbers practise, climbing walls have been erected in indoor and outdoor facilities worldwide. A novice to the sport would need the help of an instructor and a few training classes to learn the ropes.

Mountain cycling

Mountain cycling is all about steering a mountain cycle over rocky tracks and around boulder-strewn paths. It’s no secret that mountain bikers love trails and more trails! To tackle the trails, the requirements are physical strength, stamina and a strong mountain cycle. Mountain bikes or ATBs (all-terrain bikes) feature a frame and fork that are rugged. Their frames are often built of aluminium so they are lightweight and stiff, making them efficient to ride.
