While Many Might Assume That the Saying ‘look Deeper Into Nature and You’ll Understand Everything Better’ Is a Myth, Vasenta Selvanayagam Reveals How She Found It to Be Rather True Through Her Hiking Adventures.
Anyone who knows me would be able to vouch that I’m a person who is not interested in any physical activity – at all. But that was in the past. In the last two years, everyone I’ve known including my best friends have been rather amazed of the change that I’ve made and how passionate I’ve become in hiking.
#THROWBACK To be honest, boredom was what started it all. Some time back in 2016 during one of the holidays, I decided to Google interesting activities in the Klang Valley that I could maybe try out, and stumbled upon a website that mentioned hiking. Despite knowing that my stamina level was at 0 and that I’ve been given stern warnings from doctors that I shouldn’t attempt any outdoor activities because of my Epilepsy, I decided to give it a try.
THE FIRST MOVE
My first hike with a friend was up Bukit Saga that’s located in Cheras, which was about 690 metres high. To be honest, it was indeed a nightmare as it took me five hours to get up and seven hours to get down (when on average, most articles said that you’d be able to finish the trail in five hours max). To add to the misery, it started to rain. I fell down and came home with multiple bruises on my body! Of course, I ended up resting in bed for the next three days. But despite all that tiredness, there was a sense of relief in me as I made it to the peak instead of giving up halfway. For the next few days, I gave it some thought and asked myself if I’d attempt to do it again.
