“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in an office or mowing the lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” – Jack Kerouac
Nobody likes a monotonous life. Everyone wants a change every now and then. After all, change is the only constant. Some people bring this change in their lives, by going on a trek. Others want to reward themselves after a long, hectic week.
Trekking is a joyful walking experience which is a combination of hiking and walking activity in which one can take a multi-day or a single-day expedition to enjoy the scenery of rural regions or rugged hills & territory or valleys or forts. One should never forget to carry proper trekking essentials such as the right trekking shoes, bag and emergency supplies. One such trekking essentials is MyOxy oxygen can which is portable and light weight. It can be particularly helpful in case of high altitude sickness.
You may be wondering why do people go such heights for just a scenery! Well, here are a few reasons why. I am sure the following reasons are enough to convince you to get your backpack and shoes and wander off to a mountain:

To take a break and clear one’s mind:
Is your office/college too tiring for you? Are you tired of your monotonous life? Do you need a spark in your life? Don’t worry, trekking is there for your rescue.
To be with Mother Earth:
When you live in a city, you may want to escape from the chaos of the city every now and then, and just lie in the lap of Mother Earth. That breeze of refreshing air, that fresh, moist, lush green grass and that breathtaking view, ah, that’s enough to persuade a city dweller to take a trek to those magnificent mountains.
Photography:
Want to flaunt your photography skills? Don’t have any new Instagram worthy pictures to upload? Take your camera and go up a hill. Literally. Every step, every moment in the cliffs is an opportunity for a phenomenal picture.
To get fit:
A lot of fitness freaks, consider hiking as a great way to maintain that body they worked super-hard on. After all, being fit is easy; maintaining it takes up most of their efforts. And who wouldn’t choose a stupendous scenery over a boring-treadmill?
For that adrenaline rush:
Are you very adventurous? Do you love taking risks? Haven’t felt that adrenaline rush in so long? Take a trek to a steep hill or a fort, and you’ll feel it crawling up to you. For some people, this adrenaline is like a drug, they just can’t get enough of it. Hence, they keep going on various treks increasing the level of complexity each time.
To overcome challenges:
Since our childhood, we’ve been hearing – Always face your challenges/fears. If you prefer to face challenges, the hills are probably the best place to do so. They’re non-judgmental, they do not bar you if you struggle, and they do not belittle your efforts even if you take an eternity to climb that hill.

But, this feeling of euphoria comes with a price – your health! The areas with the highest mountains are also the areas with poor medical care. As you go up in altitude, the air pressure decreases until somewhere around 15,000-20,000 ft, there is not sufficient air, or to be specific, air pressure to supply enough oxygen for you to stay conscious.
As after every storm, the sun will smile, there’s a solution to every problem. MyOxy provides pure Oxygen I.P. (99%) in lightweight cans that can help people exposed to altitudes effects like hypoxia, cold, severe dehydration because of low oxygen level.
So the next time you are going on a trek, don’t forget to carry your MyOxy portable oxygen can with you!
MyOxy oxygen cans can help you overcome high altitude sickness and experience pure serenity.
The best view comes after the hardest climb.
