INTRODUCTION
What is hiking?
Hiking
- An outdoor activity of moderate difficulty.
- Involves walking in the natural environment, often across long
distances generally on trails or paths.
- Duration varies between short half-day programs and longer
itineraries for over 20 days.
- Allows groups of different sizes to participate.
 BRIEF HISTORY
• Hiking was developed during the
Stone Age, about half a million years
ago. It was once a means of hunting
and surviving, but today, it has also
become an activity for fun and
recreation.
• One of the most important events in
history of hiking happened in May
29, 1953 when Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay reached the summit
of Mount Everest.
TREKKING

hiking. The difference between
the two is that hiking is
associated with shorter
programs, while trekking is
