## Machapuchare: A Sacred Mountain

Unlike most Himalayan peaks, Machapuchare Peak 6,993 meters has never been officially climbed or summited. This is because it is considered sacred to locals and held in reverence. According to Gurung traditions, Macchapuchhre is the abode of Lord Shiva, protector of the region.

Famously called 'Fishtail' Peak or the Nepa's Matterhorn, is one of Nepal's most iconic and enigmatic landmarks. The Fishtail name refers to the fish-tail-like shape of its twin summits. With its distinctive fishtail-shaped double-summit, Machapuchare has captivated the imagination of trekkers, climbers, and nature enthusiasts worldwide.

The Mardi Himal Base Camp is around 4,500 meters & offers breathtaking panoramic views of mountains like Mardi Himal, Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.

Who's suitable?
This is a relatively moderate trek suitable for both experienced trekkers and active beginners looking for a challenging yet rewarding adventure & Majective snow cap peaks in the stunning Annapurna region of Nepal.

How it get started?
"After grieving for a little while, I was thinking: ‘What’s the use of me sitting in a corner and crying? It doesn’t help the world or society in any way.'" ..... Ganesh turned to gardening, a hobby he and his late mother had shared.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Attention: Lovers of Nature, Garden, Park: Block off this Saturday for this interactive and learning session with the founder of this community garden, Mr Ganesh …

The Woodlands Botanical Garden (WBG) began as a humble collaboration between the NParks (Parks division) and Mr Ganesh Kumar in July 2020, when the COVID-19 circuit breaker in Singapore ended. Given permission to plant the hill garden comprising the sides of the walkway leading from the bottom to the top of the nine-storey northern slope of the beautiful Woodlands Town Park East, the garden replaced areas once overtaken by ‘lalang’. This brought a myriad of colours to the once dull hill and gave the space more life and biodiversity. The main struggle of maintaining the plants involved lugging jerry cans of water up and down the hill numerous times a day, especially during the hot season.
Persevering and not letting giving up be an option, Mr Ganesh and his family pushed on to ensure all plants were well-maintained and happy. Along with this, many more people started walking the hill because of the beautiful planting, and this gave rise to many lovely new friendships between residents & visitors from near and far. They shared how the garden helped them forget their worries and problems and how it served as a beacon of new hope, proving to be a place of mental well-being as well.

Limited capacity of 50 seats only.

𝑲𝒀𝑹𝑮𝒀𝒁𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑵
The snow-capped Celestial Mountains of Central Asia dominate the spectacular landscape of Kyrgyzstan, and the alpine scenery is truly breathtaking, but it's the cultural encounters with the Kyrgyz that make this trip unforgettable.
Kyrgyzstan is a world-class trekking destination, on par with countries like Nepal, Georgia & Peru! It is 90% covered in mountains, which means that endless trekking trails will be appropriate for your hiking experience and fitness level. It's the Tien Shan mountains that are the real scenic draw of Kyrgyzstan.
The landscape is extremely diverse, shifting from variegated desert to verdant steppe to soaring mountains. The people are also among the coolest that you'll meet when we stay in their Yurt – they are truly nomadic and are very capable in their habitats.

What is special about our trips?
Similar to Thailand & Mongolia, we worked with CBT partners. The basic principle of CBT is to support local communities & sustainable eco-tourism.

⋳⋻⋐⋑ TRAVEL INSURANCE ⋳⋻⋐⋑
Though most hikers are aware & making a prompt effort to get them, there are still so many Myths, Mistakes, and Misconceptions about travel insurance.

Most insurers cover up to 3500 - 4000m altitude. Only a few insurers cover above 4000 m but extra high premiums. Any new solutions?

What's the plan?
We will cover at least 14-16 km of scenic walking trail through 6 beautiful nature parks & reserves. Tranquil reservoir view, thick forest & vegetation, a lot of nature sounds, fresh air & sometimes spotting of wildlife!

𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 & 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 16 𝗸𝗺. 𝗔 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 walking/hiking 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹.

All these 6 beautiful nature spots need no introduction at all. We will be mostly under the tree canopy, covering forest trails, reservoir views, and ancient village heritage overtaken by overgrown vegetation.

Route: 𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 → 𝑺𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒇 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 → 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 → 𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒓 → 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒐𝒓 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 → 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝑹𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌

The 50-hectare 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 was officially opened on Friday (Oct 11, 2019), becoming Singapore’s seventh nature park. This Park is “very unique” due to the many rare and endangered species of animals that can be found there. Examples are critically endangered Raffles' banded langur. Also, Bubul Birds & Rare Sambar Deer.

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸
The park was opened by the National Parks Board (NParks) on Saturday (April 22, 2017), with three new trails and a 150m-long sub-canopy walkway.

The 75-hectare park is the fourth of five buffer parks at the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the largest nature reserve in Singapore.

𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒓
Singapore's second-oldest reservoir. The forest that lines its banks is considered a mature secondary rainforest and is still dotted with numerous rubber trees and oil palms – visible reminders of a past when vast areas of Singapore were covered with plantations.
Along this charming 900-meter boardwalk, [a good section of it by the side of the tranquil reservoir], you’ll be greeted with captivating views of the reservoir, regenerating secondary forests that line the reservoir, as well as a variety of flora and fauna.

𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌:
Calm and peaceful with turquoise waters and balmy breezes, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is a pleasant place for leisure activities, both on land and in water.

Who is Suitable?
For regular walkers/hikers who are not afraid of the sun/rain. Be prepared for the long distance of walking. There will not be any sweepers, so you are to keep pace with the group or find your way out.

𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀!
Hiking attire. At least 1.5 litres of water, sunblock, rain gear, sun protection accessories, snack/energy bars - lunch may be late.
Shoe: Wear comfortable hiking shoes [walking shoes if you don't have].
