The Fun in Trekking

Actually, over the past two years of occasional trekking, I've grown to realise that ultimately, the fun in trekking is not the satisfaction in conquering mountains - but that company that you go with.

Trekking and camping together really bonds friends! It is like... you are "forced" to be with this bunch of friends together for the couple of days during the trek, "forced" to stay together, "forced" to eat together! In the process, you build up more tolerance and understanding for each other, and learn more about each other.

I've got to know some very wonderful friends since I've started trekking, and we really share crazy jokes whenever we meet up - its like... so fun! So much so, that we are now so reluctant to go trekking with other people!

Do you go trekking only with the people you know? Do you have a regular clique of friends who you go trekking with?
