Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Hiking Trails
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Bridging the hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park, the Southern Ridges combine invigorating exercise with spectacular views across Singapore.

The Southern Ridges connect the following parks: Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Hort Park, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve – all of which can delight any walking, photography, and nature enthusiasts. Mount Faber Park is one of the oldest parks in Singapore and probably one of the most popular tourist destination because of the cable car ride. The park is connected to Telok Blangah Hill Park by Henderson Waves Bridge. The park houses the Marina Deck, Palm Plaza, Jewel Box, and Faber Point. The Henderson Waves is my favourite spot. This 899-foot long pedestrian, wooden bridge suspended at 118 feet above Henderson Road, is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It connects Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park. It is called such because the bridge has a waveform made up of seven undulating curved steel ribs that alternately rise over and under its deck. The bridge also has shelters with seats within. The Southern Ridges of Singapore is a “fresh air and greenery” personified. It’s probably all that and more. There is something about its great outdoors that gives walking, running a little kick. So when you find yourself in the Lion City wanting to commune with nature, and you want to feel more alive, energetic and optimistic – walk your way to the Southern Ridges.

If driving, Dairy Farm got a carpark when out BKE. Either way, Hillview Mrt exitA to walk over. I often jog up to the Dairy Farm from the bus stop about 10mins to cut short the walk. At the carpark, have toilets & water cooler to get hydrate! Then trek up to the Summit, at a point got 2 routes to trek, either 1 is good to move or can loop another round. Up to BtTimah Summit takes about 30mins, depends on individuals. Then i trek down the same path back to Dairy Farm as We heading to Singapore Quarry! Its back to the main road to jog back to Hillview but will stop at a point at left side to lead up to Quarry, long distance around 1.1km to reach there. It will be a quiet trek so enjoy the nature while sweat up. Till u reach Quarry, definitely an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city. Rest there awhile, even can sit at a corner or in the hut. Rem do bring bottles & towel along~ After done still can walk back to Hillview, up to Rail mall to have lunch!

The circular overhead bridge across Braddell Road linking the Kallang Park Connector on either side of Braddell Road is now opened. It allows cyclists to cycle across it except for the ramp stretch where they need to push their bicycles. It is so convenient now for joggers from Potong Pasir area to jog along the Park Connector all the way to Bishan Park along the kallang River. It enhances the connectivity to Bishan Park. At night or early morning before seven, the lights on the bridge was striking.
6. Butterfly Hill

Visited Butterfly hill last weekend. Very beautiful location and despite it labelled a hill, it’s not really a difficult challenge when you climb to the top. Go down the other side and there’s a wonderful view of a Pekan Quarry Lake. Saw a great Mormon butterfly (aka Christmas swallowtail) - truly spectacular. Also saw danaid eggfly butterfly and a spotted rustic. Where there are butterflies there are caterpillars in abundance, and to add to diversity grasshoppers and stick insects. It was serene and beautiful, apart from the din of lumberjacks chopping down trees. So far from life on mainland Singapore. A wonderful location.

This protected rainforest, just 12km away from the city's high-rises, offers hiking and bike trails for observing some of the rarest insect, bird and mammal species in the world.

Good exercise to climb up to the summit of Bukit Timah which may be literally translated from Malay to "Tin Hill" in English. From experience, unless one is really fit, one should walk with a slow and leisure pace. A hurried pace can leave one exhausted and out of breath even just a third of the way to the summit. The last 100 meter or so requires one to climb up a flight of very steep stairs. Don't underestimate the distance. I had seen quite a few people (including myself :-)) pausing for a rest half way on the stairs. The summit of the hill which is around 165 meter tall is the highest point of Singapore. On the day I was there, there were about a dozen crab-eating macaques with their young ones. They appear to be used to human beings. But it is still a good idea to keep a distance from them. No feeding of animals is allowed in the reserve. It took about two hours to climb up and down the hill.

Among Night Safari’s newest attractions, this captivating Wallaby Trail is inspired by the unique wildlife of the Australian Outback and highland forests. Here, you can look forward to some of Australia’s most fascinating nocturnal wildlife natives. A hop and skip away from the main entrance of the park, this magnificent trail includes an immersive Ranger Station learning experience. This trail also highlights one of the few free-ranging Wallaby walk-through habitats in Asia, and the mysterious Naracoorte Cave with scorpions, venomous centipedes and other night crawling creatures.

The temperature was perfect and it was wonderful walking through the jungle seeing the animals. This trail weaves between the roads used by the night safari shuttles. Definitely the best part of the safari. Unfortunately, we had to run through half of the trail to catch the next show. Which consisted of well-trained exotic animals and fun acts. Everyone's favorite was the otters, of course. There was a lot of interesting information about the animals, but 1 hour is all you need to spend. However, if your family is relaxed 2 hours is a really safe bet.
