Date : 15th October 2006
Time: 2:00 PM

Participants:

1. Ajit
2. Aparna
3. Shardul
4. Santosh
5. Helen


TREE TOP WALK
The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region, this free-standing suspension bridge connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy.
Want to experience how it is like walking along this 250m suspension bridge and you are 25m above ground, overlooking the top of the forest trees?

Meeting Point:

http://www.street-directory.com/ssc/ssc ... r=&level=7

Please note that the starting and meeting point is now at Venue Drive, car park. Walk Starts at 8:00 AM. Incase you are driving, please arrive at Car Park before 7:30 AM as the Carpark is usually full after this time.

Getting There:

Please read on to plan your journey to the HSBC TreeTop Walk

Opening Hours

Tue to Fri: 9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.
Sat, Sun and Public Holidays: 8.30 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.

Note: The HSBC TTW is closed on Mondays except public holidays for maintenance and research.

Getting There

The HSBC TreeTop Walk is accessible from MacRitchie Reservoir Park via 1) MacRitchie Nature Trail (indicated as Route 3 on map) or from 2) Venus Drive, off Upper Thomson Road.

The distance to the entrance of the TreeTop Walk is approximately 4.5 km (1.5 - 2 hour walk) from the reservoir park and 2.5 km (45 mins - 1 hr walk) from the carpark at Venus Drive. Therefore, a round trip including the TreeTop Walk is about 7 to 10 km (3-5 hours depending on your walking pace).

Getting to MacRitchie Reservoir

By Bus
Take bus nos. 74, 93, 130, 132, 156, 157, 162, 165, 166, 167, 605, 852, 855 or 980. Alight along Lornie Road at the bus-stop in front of MacRitchie Reservoir Park.

By Car
Entrance to the MacRitchie Reservoir Park car park is along Lornie Road.

Getting to Venus Drive

By Bus
Take bus nos. 132, 163, 165, 166, 167, 640, 855 or 980. Alight along Upper Thomson Road near junction with Sing Ming Ave.

By Car
Entrance to the car park is along Venus Drive, off Upper Thomson Road.


Please note that a section of Sime Track (from MacRitchie Ranger Station to Petaling Hut) is affected by a landslide. It is currently closed until further notice. Look out for the directional signs along the hiking routes.

Visitors on their way back to the Ranger Station from the TreeTop Walk will be directed to the pipeline track halfway along Petaling Trail, and then to Peirce Track.

Visitors walking on Route 4 (Yellow) and 5 (Pink) towards Jelutong Tower and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve will be directed from the ranger station onto Peirce Track, pipeline track, Petaling Trail and then onto the unaffected portion of Sime Track after the Petaling Hut.


The walk to the HSBC TreeTop Walk is graded as moderate and difficult. Due to the distance and terrain, the hike to the HSBC TreeTop Walk may not be suitable for young children and the elderly. Instead of the TreeTop Walk, you may wish to try the two boardwalk trails- indicated as Route 1 (3 km) and Route 2 (4.8 km) on the map - for a shorter but equally interesting experience in the Nature Reserves. Both bordwalks are accessible from the MacRitchie Reservoir Park. You may also wish to visit the more accessible Kent Ridge Canopy Walk, a raised boadwalk with the highest point at 16m, at Kent Ridge Park.


Hiking tips for your comfort and safety
