What is Hiking?

Hiking involves walking in natural environments, often on hiking trails. It is a popular activity that combines physical exercise with an appreciation of nature and scenery. Hiking varies greatly depending on the terrain, from easy walks to challenging mountain climbs.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Hiking?
