Why do people get treks?
Many people join a trek to improve their own fitness and strength. To survive advanced treks through rugged terrain, you must have a certain level of physical endurance. A trek can be the ultimate test of your physical abilities and because of this it is a wonderful motivator to enhance physical fitness.
What is trekking vs hiking?
Hikes also may involve only a few hours, though, and see you return to your hotel or base in the same day. Treks, meanwhile, are always considered to be multi-day journeys. They involve at least a couple of days on the trail, but often can involve many days, weeks or months on the trail.
What is jungle trekking?
Jungle trekking can be loosely defined as hiking through the rainforest, but it is so much more than that. Trekking in the jungle is an exciting challenge that takes you far away from modern civilization into some of the most biodiverse areas on earth.
