Trekking in the Wild
Rafflesian Business Network (RBN) Trekking session.
Open to friends and families of Rafflesians too!
Come in T-shirts of green or black or white or mix of these 3, for easy identification and sense of bonding.
We will embark on a 5.2km return loop from Tanglin Gate (Botanic Gardens) near Napier MRT station.
Approximate Route: https://onthegomap.com/s/3t1por6q
We will begin our walk from the Tanglin Gate and walk past the Swan Lake before heading to Keppel Discovery Wetlands. From there, we will proceed to the Gallop Extension and spend a few moments visiting the Botanical Art Gallery and Forest Discovery Centre. We will then return to Keppel Discovery Wetlands to visit the rest of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre portion of Botanic Gardens before proceeding to the garden's Heritage Centre. We will end the walk with a hearty breakfast at Fusion Spoon food court within the gardens itself.
Please consider wearing a broad-brim hat, long sleeves and long pants, and wear a comfortable pair of shoes that grip well. Alternatively, please utilise sunscreen. UV levels in Singapore at 8.30am start very low but will increase significantly over the following two hours. Bring refreshments; there are a few vending machines in Botanic Gardens, but will be sparsely located along our planned walking route.
Meeting/Departure Point:
Napier MRT station station control at 8.15am. We depart for the walk at 8.30am sharp with no grace period.
Inclement Weather/Alternative Arrangements:
In the event of inclement weather, we will send an outreach message an hour before the start notifying you of its cancellation. If it is forecasted to rain in the morning of the event, we may also cancel the event by notifying you the day before.
If it’s just expected to drizzle, we may decide to still meet up to connect over breakfast and chill.
Post event activities:
Post-event, our hosts, in their personal capacity, will proceed for breakfast at a venue to be discussed. Feel free to join the hosts in your personal capacity for breakfast.
Group Sizes:
We limit the group size to 30 persons including hosts due to NParks regulations that require permits for more than 30 attendees. If you are bringing your family members, please 'purchase' the correct number of tickets so that we can track the numbers correctly. In case the group exceeds 30 persons on the day itself, we will split the group into smaller sizes with 5 minute departure intervals.
If you decide not to attend, please cancel your registration EARLY so that wait-listed attendees can be given the opportunity to join us.
