Walking around the world is a great way to see the world
The ability to explore sections of the planet that the normal tourist would not see is one of the most amazing aspects of trekking. You’re traveling through the hiding places and crannies of the country you’re in, exploring the mountain peaks and valleys, while they’re walking around the main city.
To put it another way, you get to see a different aspect of the world. Though hikers are normally prepared to encounter local wildlife, this hiker was unprepared for what she encountered.
