Probably cause social circle have hyped it up. I always keep on telling my friends explore India first, you'll be surprised by how beautiful our country is!
In my view, you shouldn't. Four of my friends went for the trek but the day they reached Uttrakhand, glacier burst happened and we aren't able to contact them till now.
You get some "ME" time which most of us usually don't get these days. You tend to meet more people and interact with them, which is lesser when compared to travelling in groups or with your friends. You will end up clicking pictures of things around you, which turn into beautiful memories when you look back! :)
Update looks nice, tripoto 👍. I can search questions better than previous. It would be great if i can see my answers or stats on my profile, like how many answers have I posted.
