Into the wild!

XZone, Manchinbele











Into the wild, maybe not so much but its always an experience which fascinates people and it has an effect on me too. Everything is physical about camping, yet its not taxing on the body. Whenever I have gone camping, I have always felt my body needs this and so does my mind. I somehow feel it’s a much more natural workout with an exciting surrounding. When I was in scouts, I experienced something similar but at a much unknown level because we were trained to do what we did. In retrospect, whenever I think about camping, it takes me away from the frivolities of my daily routine. The perfect urban analogy to camping would be the 98th floor of a really tall building, where motion is with little sound, cars seem like toys. You are away, quite far away, though in reality very close.  I experienced the same when I was at the campsite XtremeZone, Manchinbele. I could hear the lake; feel the wind, and very less human habitation. It’s a try out for everyone. XtremeZone has given me a great opportunity to experience energy that rejuvenates me from the urban chaos. Even though its only 50 kms from Bangalore, I can surely say “into the wild”. Let me know about your “into the wild” experiences.
