How to Convince Friends to Go Trekking

Convincing friends to go trekking is sometimes harder than climbing the mountain itself.
Some friends love adventure, some love sleep, and some just love giving excuses.
But don’t worry — here is the ultimate funny and practical guide to get your squad on the trail.


1. The “Bro, It Will Be Fun!” Strategy

This is the oldest and most classic method.
You simply tell your friends:

“Bro, trust me… it’s going to be so much fun!”

Even though you have no idea what will happen on the trek.
Surprisingly, this line works 50% of the time.


2. Show Them Pictures of the View

Open Instagram, show them snow-covered peaks, epic sunsets, or mountain lakes and say:

“Look at this view! We just have to reach here.”

Friends quickly forget the struggle and only remember the photo.

Pro tip:
Show them a cinematic reel of someone on a mountain with slow-motion hair flying.
Instant motivation!


3. Use FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

This always works. Just say:

  • “We’re all going… you stay home if you want.”
  • “You won’t be in the group photo.”
  • “You’ll miss the campfire stories.”

FOMO hits harder than any motivational speech.


4. Offer Them a Reward

Some friends come for adventure.
Some come for the food.

Say things like:

“We’ll have hot Maggi at the top.”

or

“After we return, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Food is the biggest motivator on earth. Use it well.


5. Emotional Blackmail (Cute Version Only!)

Not serious blackmail—just cute emotional lines like:

  • “Come with me na… just this once.”
  • “I’ll miss you if you’re not there.”
  • “If you come, I’ll feel more confident.”

Works especially well on your closest friend.


6. The Fitness Motivation Trick

Tell them:

“One trek and your fitness transformation begins!”

or

“You’ll look like a hero in the photos!”

Everyone wants to look fit and cool.
Use that energy.


7. Use Their Weakness

Every friend has a soft spot:

  • The shopping lover: “You can buy cool mountain jackets there!”
  • The photo lover: “Bro, you’ll get a cloud-surrounded selfie.”
  • The foodie: “Top view + Maggi + chai = heaven.”
  • The gym lover: “This trek is like leg day x 10.”

Play your cards right.


8. Reverse Psychology

Tell them:

“I don’t think you can handle this trek… it’s tough.”

Suddenly they turn into a lion:

“What? Of course I can do it!”

And boom — they’re ready.


9. Pitch the “New Experience” Card

Some friends want to try something different.
Tell them:

“Life is too short to repeat the same routine. One trek can change your mood completely.”

This message hits the soul.


10. The Ultimate Hack: Make a Group Plan

Create a WhatsApp group:

“Trek Legends 2.0”

Add a mountain photo as the group DP.
Start sending:

  • Weather updates
  • Packing lists
  • “Guys, I’m excited!”

Everyone suddenly becomes serious because—
peer pressure is real.


😂 Funny Situations That Always Happen

1. The Friend Who Says “I’m 100% Coming!” and Disappears

This friend vanishes the moment you ask for advance payment.


2. The Friend Who Asks: “Will there be network?”

Bro… we’re going to the mountains, not a café.


3. The Overexcited One

Packs 3 jackets, 5 snacks, 2 power banks, and 0 stamina.


4. The Drama Queen/King

After walking for 10 minutes:

“Guys… leave me here… I can’t do this.”

But this same friend will post on Instagram:

“Exploring the Himalayas ✨ Life feels beautiful.”


Final Tip: If Nothing Works… Go Solo!

Go on your own trek, enjoy it fully, take amazing photos, and post them.
Next time, your friends will beg you to take them along.
