Reviews
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve was a wonderful experience for me! I enjoyed the steep climb, which was a good challenge. I also found a smart way to avoid the steps (hehehe) by taking the steep road upward instead. I loved the scenic route that I took on the way down, which had amazing views. It was like being in a beautiful forest. The trail can be tough for some people, but it is rewarding and fun. I recommend arriving early, as the car park can get full, but you can also park at a nearby mall. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is a great place to visit if you love nature and adventure!
Love this place. Good to wander around but hiking a bit tough with some steps about 18 inches high. Maybe not good for kids. One fit young man put his baby on his back and he was puffing away. Lots of people out enjoying the excursion. Lots of trails to follow. Easy Medium Hard. Lots of interesting fact posters along the routes
Small and a happy trek. I went via the rail corridor, which is also a pleasant walk. You will love it if you are a nature lover. Just carry a water bottle. :)
