I felt I wasn’t cut out for it, then I decided to give it another try.
Few months back (July, 2023), I had gone on a trek to Kashmir. On this trek, I felt breathless many a times , climbing up each step felt like a challenge. Breathing heavily with each step, I pushed myself to trek and reach the destination. After I completed and came back home, I decided I wasn’t cut out for it. I will probably never trek again. Somewhere it felt like a failure even though I had completed the trek.
After almost a year later, I decided to give it another try, with another trek called Hampta Pass Trek in Himachal Pradesh last week(June 2024). I had kept myself fit with everyday activity and now it was time to test myself again. Deep inside my fear of failing again engulfed me but if I do not try it again, I will never know. I was eager to find out if I was physically not fit or somehow I had developed mountain sickness.
I started with the trek with a warm up and kept hydrating myself. I was able to keep climbing up without any feeling of breathlessness. It felt good in someway the first day. Second day came , I did the same thing. I kept walking up and even after passing higher elevation, I was able to simply keep going without any trouble.
Then came the third day, we had walk up on the glaciers. In order to escape sleeping in tents with cold temperatures , we climbed up to hampta pass and trekked down back to Manali covering close to 20 kms in a day.
It felt great as I reached the end of the trek, all my fear of not being able to do it simply vanished. I felt proud of beating that fear, trying it again and proving to myself what I was capable of if I can make up my mind.
This little small trekking story simply proves that we do not have to fear walking the path that previously fell on. As we simply muster the courage to try again, you can beat that fear and reach the peak of your own expectation.
Let’s never forget to give another try.
