Read the passage given below.
1. There is something humbling about nature. Even as the deep sea, or a
towering mountain or even a complex rainforest forces humility upon you,
nature manages to leave you with your ego intact. No one in their right
mind can seriously contemplate being in ‘competition’ with anything so
perfect and extensive. In fact, I smile inwardly when I hear people talk of
‘conquering’ mountains. The mountain actually lets you climb it. If it was
less ‘benevolent’ you would be dead.
2. On the other hand, if you respect its power and tread lightly upon its earth,
the Himalaya will protect you and deliver to you the satisfaction of being
cocooned in pure nature. Take my word for it. Almost anywhere you go, the
traditional hospitality of the hill people will ensure that you obtain a hot
meal, a friendly welcome and a place to rest a tired body for the night. All
you need to pack is humility, essential trust and low key demands along
with a good pair of walking boots and a sleeping bag.
3. It is surprisingly easy to visit untrodden trails without it costing an arm and
a leg, provided one does not fall prey to the tempting five-star facilities.
These promise physical comfort at high prices, but the cost paid by the
environments in which such facilities are located is incalculable. Besides,
the sanitized options available take most of the organic pleasure away from
most destinations.
