Are you ready for a thrilling adventure in nature? Join us for a river trekking event to celebrate World Rivers Day, which falls on September 24, 2023, our usual Sunday event. River trekking is a unique way of hiking that involves following the course of a river, either upstream or downstream. You will get to experience the beauty and diversity of the river ecosystem, such as micro waterfalls, cascades, boulders, and surrounding forest. You will also have the chance to take amazing photos of the scenery. Plus, you will challenge yourself by trekking on a different terrain that requires balance, agility, and endurance. As a bonus, we will explore further upstream and discover what lies “beyond” the usual route. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature, upskilling and have fun with fellow nature lovers!
