We took the green trail to the top which took about 1.5 hours there and back. The humidity is the key factor that adds an interesting dimension to the outing for those visitors from more temperate climes. Take a lot of water, do not try and rush to the top and have no illusions about looking other than soaked at... More

The place is good for a short trek. My friends and I took the yellow path which is considered the hardest. You'll start your trek by walking about 5 minutes on a steep hill, then after that the rest is pretty much easy. It was so easy, my friends and I kept going back and forth to the points where...

This is a great place for an early morning walk - although for many it is a tax ride. The pre-planned alks aren't really long enough for an enthusiastic walker - but worthwhile just the same.

This nature reserve is amazing because it gives you a great idea of what Singapore used to look like before the recent massive urban transformation it went through: a massive jungle! The reserve is beautiful, full of surprising animals. The hiking tracks are great and not so easy, so be prepared. It can appear like a maze actually, since there... More

Bond with nature. Check out the quarry and natural beauty this flora of Singapore provides. There are several trails that one can adventure out depending on your fitness level and how adventurous one can be. Pick up a copy of the map from the Ranger's station. apply lots of insect repellent and drink lots of water! There is a closing... More

Away from the concrete jungle, I love the fresh air here. You can reach the summit within an hour. If you are looking for a more challenging path, try the dairy farm trail at the top of the information map. - Do bring along water and snacks as the tropical heat and humidity can wear you out real fast. -...
