What we’re about

Welcome fellow walker :-)

Join us on a walking journey to all parts of Singapore.

We have regular walks every Thursday and alternate Sunday afternoons.

Each week we venture to a different part of the island. We cover all parts of Singapore in our walks - there is never a dull moment!

We have also been featured in the Straits Times: (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/steps-and-the-city-how-the-walking-trend-is-making-strides-in-singapore)

I invite you to come for the adventure and stay for the company.

Botanical Gardens Walk + National Orchid Garden cover photo

Meet: NAPIER MRT STATION (TE12) Passenger Service Centre*
When: Thursday 24th January 4:30 pm

**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.

Please be punctual. You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

This Meetup group is led by a community of volunteers. Please extend grace in areas of inadequacy. You are most welcome to give constructive feedback; we strive for improvement!

Let's stroll through the Botanic Gardens! The National Orchid Garden has free entry to locals from the 19th July to 27th July! We shall take the opportunity to visit the Orchid Gardens!

The Singapore Botanic Gardens (the Gardens) was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 4th July 2015, at the 39th session of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) in Bonn, Germany.

The Gardens is the first and only tropical botanic garden on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. It is the first in Asia and the third botanic gardens inscribed in the world following Orto botanico di Padova and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

See you there! :-)

Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 3:30 PM SSTMacritchie - Bukit Brown Trek
Upper Thomson MRT (TE8), Singapore
Meet: Upper Thomson MRT (TE8) Passenger Service Centre
When: Thursday 26th June, 3:30 pm**

**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.

Please be punctual. You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

We start our trek from the Upper Thomson area through Macritchie Park and head to the Bukit Brown Cemetery.

The cemetery is named after George Henry Brown, a Briton who came to Singapore in the 1840s. He bought land and built his home on what is today Mount Pleasant. The name Bukit Brown first appeared on a map in 1898 and is the first official hybrid English and Malay place name in Singapore.

Bukit Brown Cemetery opened on 1 January 1922, a municipal cemetery administered by the British and opened to all Chinese, regardless of dialect group and status. This departed from the traditional practice of linking final resting places for Chinese exclusively to ties of kinship and dialect groups.

We will end by having dinner together around the Toa Payoh area.

Meanwhile, you will be transported into a world of tranquility at the Cascading Creek and Bamboo Grove which leads to a wonderful waterfall.
