Move Over Cafés And Movies – Eco-Conscious Walks Are The New Hot Date!

Going to cafés and movies for dates is so 2019. When it comes to encounters, sometimes the best thing to do is to let nature take its course – in this case, literally! With sustainability and eco-friendly lifestyles merging with the need to form genuine connections in authentic settings, eco-conscious walks and trails are quickly becoming the new way to date. ‘Go touch grass’ is no longer just a turn of phrase: since 2019, more and more Gen-Z are finding love based on their green hobbies and including their ‘plant mom/dad’ titles proudly in their dating bios. In a recent happn study, 81% of young people expressed keen interest in activities that get them outdoors.

Bonding over the shared awareness to preserve our environment and practice sustainability while fostering serendipitous connections? Say less! LBB and happn, the real-life dating app, have teamed up to bring you closer to this unique experience with a special Eco-conscious walk through Mumbai’s hidden green spot. 

In the lush greens of Grand Central Park, discover quiet serenity in the urban jungle that is Mumbai through a guided tour of its themed gardens. Marvel at the perfect symmetry and aesthetic landscaping of the Mughal Gardens; acquaint yourself with Chinese and Moroccan influences, and indulge in the serene, understated, and tranquil excellence of the Japanese Gardens.

Explore the unique local flora and fauna in each garden, engage in intellectual conversations on sustainability, ping-pong ideas on eco-friendly living, or simply enjoy the majestic beauty of nature with someone special. This is serendipity in its most ‘natural’ form, pun wholly intended. 

Such chances to form connections come by rarely, so you best believe we’re making the most of them. We’ve lined up some fun ice-breaker questions to get to know your fellow walkers (and perhaps find someone who surprises you!), trivia games spanning categories that will bring out your competitive sides (or maybe find you the perfect game partner), and a special paired sip and paint activity where art leads the way to the heart.

We end the walk with some much-needed sustenance at Taste of India featuring a curated selection of bites – with memories to boot!
