The American philosopher Henry David Thoreau would have enjoyed a weekend trail in the forests of Aarey, one imagines. If you are single in Mumbai and tired of the same old hangouts, this weekend meet-up offers something offbeat to explore. Arti Bhandari, co-founder of Prem-a-culture believes that nature trails offer singles in the city a chance to step outside the usual dating routine. 

The idea for the trail was born out of the thought that nature builds attraction. “In our daily life, we hardly have any interaction with nature. The idea of these meet-ups is to help singles in the city come out and do something together,” she points.  Bhandari notes that the trail offers individuals an opportunity to interact and communicate openly while being surrounded by a natural ambience.
