About
Join us for a journey along Singapore’s Southern Ridges that takes us from relaxing forest immersion to yummy food at the Harbourfront. Starting at Kent Ridge Park, we will experience a blend of nature and history. We will traverse the Canopy Walk and descend to botanical oasis featuring themed gardens and tranquil ponds, perfect for a peaceful interlude. After a short break, we will venture Henderson Waves, enjoying the harmony of nature and architecture. As we reach the summit of Mt Faber, we will soak in panoramic city views before leisurely descending via the Marang Trail, reveling in the serene beauty of Singapore’s southern coastline. The walk will end at the foot of Mt Faber, where you are invited to lunch together with us and your newfound friends at Seah Imm Market.
All proceeds from this walk go to The Safe Space Foundation

FAQ
It’s easy to moderate trail that takes roughly 3 hours. The walking surfaces are mostly nicely paved. The challenge is walking stamina for around 8km with some stairs, not to worry we take a rather leisurely pace.
The physical activity of moving forward (especially in a natural environment) as we talk helps us open our minds and break thinking patterns. It allows fluidity for people to move around, provides environmental stimulus to ignite our sense of wonder and allows time for people to be present for each other in the journey.
