It is a matter of great pleasure to go for a walk by the countryside, especially for those who live in noisy cities and hardly find time to visit such places. The countryside has its own magical charms. A walk here removes the boredom and monotony of the hectic life of cities. Countryside presents sights, scenes and sounds that are very soothing and delightful. One feels elated and happy by taking a walk through the countryside.

Such a walk helps us discover nature in all her beauty. Lush green fields, dancing plants, the vast landscape, with farmers ploughing their fields, women working at the wells, villagers singing folk songs in the open fields, the tinkling of the bells tied to the necks of bulls, cows, buffaloes etc, are the sights and sounds to enjoy.

The dense groves of the trees and the sweet sound of the chirping sparrows render melodious music. All this is so enchanting that we envy the peace of the countryside.

The cool, fresh air which we get in the countryside is not available in the cities and towns. Smoky and dusty atmosphere of the cities makes life difficult. The artificial life of the cities is nothing compared to the serene, calm, quiet and peaceful life of the countryside. The blooming flowers, the green trees and women carrying pitchers on their heads can only be seen by having a walk through the countryside.

It is rightly said, “God made the country and man made the town.” It seems even God resides in the countryside because the purity and simplicity of the countryside is more congenial than the humdrum life of cities and towns. In the countryside, we find nature in its various moods and thoughts. Nature is the teacher, healer and mother of man.

Thus, a walk in a countryside is really pleasant because we breathe the pure and fresh air and see the objects of nature that are very pleasing and delightful and that elevate our spirits as well as refresh our minds.
