Top 10 Things to do in Bukit Panjang, Singapore

December 23, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

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.

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to travel hence here we are exploring our own country. We took a walk from Dairy farm nature park to reach there and eventually end the walk at Rail mall. (Cut through the Fuyong estate) Best timing to go will be in the morning. Not v crowded and not so hot. ????

Hindhede Quarry

Reviewed By LimCT168 - Singapore, Singapore

This park is located within Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and it has several trails. Take a leisurely stroll here and enjoy the fauna and flora of Bukit Timah. It is suitable for elderly and children. If you stand facing the visitor centre, the Hindhede Nature Park is on your left. It is wheelchair accessible but be mindful about the long slope from Visitor Centre. It takes about 10 minute for me to walk from carpark to “lookout” point overlooking the large Hindhede Quarry. Fish and tortoises greet you at the lookout point. Occasionally, you can see monkeys, monitor lizards, squirrels and birds too. There is a small park for children and playground where you can try the “flying fox”. There are wooden tables and chairs where you can have a picnic if you like. Opening hours is from 7am to 7pm. If you want to take MRT/train, alight at DTL (blue line) Beauty World Station Exit A. There are many public buses that stop along Upper Bukit Timah Road and Jalan Anak Bukit. Carpark is limited and quite occupied during weekend. Do note that no pets are allowed and feeding of monkey is prohibited.

Chestnut Nature Park

Reviewed By AndyCworld

Wet or dry this trail is great for MTB. Chestnut South is a short loop and easier for beginners. Chestnut North boasts a good trail network of interconnecting trails all the way up to Mandai Road. There’s a pump track with some jumps north of the observation tower. The signs marking the trails are clear but it’s not easy to navigate with just the trail names. There are occasional Nature Park maps but don’t go in there counting on finding them to navigate. At the very least have a charged cellular phone with a map application so you can find your way easily. It’s great that the MTB trails are separate from the hiking trails, although some hikers ignore the signs and try to hike along the MTB trails. The trails become a bit more challenging when wet, and the mud and puddles can get a little deep (rarely deeper than your pedals). Bring your own water because there are no water fountains. The small shop at the trailhead has a power wash station for $3 per bike to wash afterwards, and also rents bikes. They sell water and sports drinks as well at a fair price. Don’t expect to find a parking lot on Sat/Sun mornings but there is overflow parking along the road below the main parking area. If you show up after noon, you can find parking lots from those completing their morning rides. Beginners should try Chestnut South and North before they move on to Bukit Tima and Palau Ubin (Ketam MTB Park). There is a short trail that connects Chestnut with the east part of Bukit Tima.

Dairy Farm Nature Park

Reviewed By ekinling - Singapore, Singapore

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!

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

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.

Reviewed By RobertA1045

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.
