Living in a city or town may have its merits, however, it has also become a challenge in terms of stressful and healthy living.

We all know that a satisfying stroll changes our outlook and perhaps these days we realise it that much more because of our experiences relating to the coronavirus pandemic that affected each-and-every one of us, in one way or another.

Walking can be a kind of a behavioural preventive against depression and has scientifically been proven that it benefits us on many levels, both physically and psychologically.

Walking helps to produce protein molecules in the muscles and the brain that help repair wear and tear and has the following additional health benefits:

• It increases cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness (heart and lung).
• It has been medically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes.
• It can protect the brain region associated with memory and planning and shifts one into a more relaxed, meditative state to access one’s thoughts and construct ideas more clearly
• it improves management conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness and diabetes.
• It assists with increasing strength and fitness and improves balance.

Because walking and hiking in nature is so good for us, we want our clients to enjoy the trails, without any pressure and we also want them to experience not only seeing wonderful sites and having fun but also to assist them on a path to improve their health

During our multi-day “walks” our clients do not carry heavy backpacks, overnight in tents or caves, cook over a fire or portable gas stove and endure long and difficult trails without ever stopping to smell the flowers nor enjoy the sights around them.

Instead they walk a different trail each day, varying in distance and level of difficulty. They are able to walk at a comfortable pace with a small day-pack, meals and snack-packs prepared for them, sleep in a clean bed and have bathroom facilities at a “Base-Camp Lodge”.
