Singapore Expats

Is there any hiking trail in Singapore?

Plenty, if you dare to venture out.

http://www.nparks.gov.sg/nature_central_hiking.asp

The Nparks website lists several nature reserves in Sg, and each reserve has it's own hiking trails.

The HSBC treetop walk is one I wld recommend. There are also many interesting trails ard the Lim Chu Kang military training grounds, but that's not exactly public access and u run the risk of being run over by Armoured Personnel Carriers.

Pulau Ubin is another interesting place to visit.

Hi all,

I am from HK, actually I did lots of Hiking in HK. That's why I am interested to explore the hiking place and natural environment in Singapore.

Is there anyone interest to go hiking together here in weekend, I have found some hiking trail in MacRitchie Reservoir Park, but havent been there, would be great if someone interested and go together!

hi amd 2008, i am actually interested in taking a walk around the macritchie reservoir some weekend. sms me at 9489 0827.

I am keen too, but usually can't get anyone to go with, or it's usually others prefer to go early in the morning or do a fast trek, which is not my cup of tea.

I suggest you can join the mailing list of SIngapore Adverturers Club, i am in their mailing list. SOmetimes they have free treks around SIngapore. Went once and is quite fun and you get to do it with many other like minded people as well
