What we’re about
Welcome to DESI OUTDOORS of Philadelphia. We are based on Desi Outdoors meetup group of NJ. Our primary activities include hiking, camping, biking and other seasonal Outdoor activities in-and-around Philadelphia.
Doeres (members of the group) continuously engage in various Outdoor activities for enriching, strengthening and balancing mind, body and spirit in harmony with Nature. Activities are low to moderate risk, moderate to strenuous difficulty, adventurous to challenging, with a mix of exploration, recreation, learning, fun, freedom and building a better Self & Society. Some activities involve kids and families.
We are active year-around, enjoying all seasons and outdoor terrains of the US. Organizers expect new members to join for active participation in group meetups as per the mission above and not for increased meetup memberships, business or professional networking, socialization etc. We keep the group small to outdoors active members and No Attendance within 3 months of joining removes you from the group.
