Hiking is a fun outdoor activity where people walk through nature trails, forests, mountains, or hills. Many enjoy hiking to relax, get fresh air, and stay healthy. It can be a short walk or a long climb, depending on the place and your experience.
While hiking is a great way to enjoy nature, it also has some dangers, especially if you’re not prepared. One of the most common risks is slipping or falling, especially on rocky, muddy, or wet paths.

“It was cold, and I’m soaked from the rain, but I loved the gloomy atmosphere. The climb was tough… but the view is so worth it,” he shared.
For him, the effort and struggle were all worth it once he reached the top.
Many netizens reacted to the video, with some praising his bravery while others expressed concern about the risk involved, especially for both him and the guide seen in the video.
