Each one of us know that outdoor activities are good not
only for physical health but also mental health, but how many of us get to do
it and how often. There can be many reason for not doing it like lack of time,
free space and accessories to make the activity a complete and fruitful one. With
proper accessories one can not only enjoy the outdoor activities but also get
the most benefit out of it.
For we bloggers in Bangalore, last Saturday was one such day at Flipkart Outdoors meet organized by Indiblogger and Flipkart in Mango Mist resort. There were many brands showcasing their products that are essential for outdoor activities and we got the chance to use those products while doing many physical activities. There were big MNC brands like Samsung, Garmin, Sony and many others. All of these brands had many products that could add value to our outdoor activities. The product varied from action camera to smart gears to outdoor activity specific shoes and many more.
The Event:
The event was organized by Indiblogger team and around 100
bloggers were part of it. It was happening to see so many bloggers excited for a full day event on lazy Saturday morning. We reached to venue by IndiBus at 9 AM and after awesome breakfast it was time to get ready for the activities. After initial breefing by Indiblogger Team about event, Bloggers were divided in separate teams and every
team got chance to get information about the products being showcased by brands one
by one and also some members of each time got chance to use those products for
whole day doing different set of activities. Hosts made sure that we don’t walk
hungry anytime so we were provided with awesome breakfast and lunch to feed
energy within ourselves.
