Types of trekkers you come across your trekking journey

When it comes to trekking, all you can have is the full pack of enjoyment, no matter what hurdles you face. Being a trekker is what makes it different from other recreational activities. It would be difficult to define the variable nature of trekkers, as per my experience I am illustrating some of the types of trekkers which I come across throughout my journey. However, the similarity in everyone is to make it the best part of their lives.

Human Navigator

At every trekking journey, there is a person who is known to every single angle and direction of the trek. These people are the multi-talented self-made geographers. Ramesh, my trek advisor at Kurseong trek, is of the same personality. He acts like as if he even knows ant’s Homestays! I appreciate these types of trekkers as they help people like us to understand the Do’s and Don’ts while trekking journey and to choose the best possible path.

The Racer

Types of trekkers with whom I am fond of going with is the most enthusiastic ones. Having impressive physical attire, they always want to be the first. During my trekking journey in 2017 summers, while we were sweating to cross the base hurdle, he even passed the mid-level trek like a speedy little deer. It is just like a movie with no breaks! The best thing is that these types of trekkers will always set an example for the rest of the crowd to perform better with every step. They always make others in motivation to complete the whole trekking journey.

Lazy Zombies

You may find these types of trekkers at almost every trekking journey. These people are so lazy and exhausting that completing the trek for them is like walking in the space. I offered my friend Zia to accompany me on the trek to the Flower Valley. She walked like a snail with eyes glazed over. I felt like making a journey of her and me. No doubt, to carry these types of trekkers with you is the bold step, and one must consistently support them too at least be motivated throughout the trekking journey.

Powerlifter Barbies

The term correctly describes the trekker specifically the power puff girls. People during the trekking journey generally try to carry as less load possible, but these fairy tales carry with them almost all the things at home. These types of trekkers pretend like that it is so easy to carry heavy loads, but the actual situation is entirely opposite. The best thing is that one of these types of trekkers will suffice all your trekking journey necessities.

Fashion Divas

You will feel like trekking with celebrities while walking with these types of trekkers. They are the show’s topper as per fashion is concerned. The glamorous look at first instance will mesmerize you. It is the last concern for trekkers whether they look good or not, but for divas, it is the only thing which cannot be compromised throughout the trekking journey. Where there is the talk of fashion, I must say that my trek mate at Coorg did nothing but taking care of her cosmetics and accessories. But one thing we can learn from these types of trekkers which is to do what your heart says, wherever you are!

Hyperactive Talkies

Almost every trekker at some point in time has experience of trekking with these types of trekkers. They are the most talkative persons you will meet around. It is not only about their talkative character, but the form of their hibernating behavior that surely irritates you. I know about it as deeply as I have experience of trekking journey with my best friend who is one of the exclusive creatures. He is a doubtful personality. He uses his Einstein brain to know about anything from formation about a rock to glacier melting.

Peace loving Trekkers

These types of trekkers love silence and maintain peace throughout the trekking journey. The way they look at the environment and nature’s beauty is unmatchable. They like to do quite an introspective of themselves and fully take advantage of the trekking journey to observe peace and silence. These types of trekkers are more flexible in their approach also and always listening to what others say calmly. I can relate it to myself as I am a peace-loving person who enjoys company with every type of trekkers.

Trekking Journey as a whole is life experience to cherish. You will face moments of both joy and sorrows. The fact we should keep in mind is that it is not much about the destination peak, but most matters are the journey and people we meet to make it the unforgettable one.
