Mental Toughness
My pursuit of my Achan’s dream – the 6th trip – Feb 2018 – Prashar Lake Trek, 8900 ft.
On yet another weekend, I headed to Prashar Lake near Mandi with India Hikes batch. This trek leads to a three-storeyed pagoda-like temple. There is a floating island inside the lake. Both these aspects make it an extraordinary & beautiful trek. View from the top is fantastic and mesmerising.
Our trek leader Tanmay was a mentally tough guy & avid traveller who provided smart travelling tips which were very useful for my solo trips.
I had met Sapna just before this particular trek & with time she became an inspiration for life.
Post my two surgeries due to my forearm fracture no one was ready to train me for strength training. When I look back I remember the first day when she agreed to train and started weight training with 500ml water bottle.
She completely changed my perspective about fitness and helped me work on both physical strength and mental toughness in turn made trekking so much fun. We all have someone that changed the direction of our story – Sapna Singh & Tanmay Bain helped me build on mental toughness which is very important trait for any leader.
