MacRitchie Reservoir Loop

Rated by the Singaporean government as the most difficult hike in the entire country, The MacRitchie Reservoir loop is surprisingly easy, with no elevation gains. The only thing is distance. Along the path you can see wild monkeys (a lot of wild monkeys), snakes, big lizards and unique birds. While the track through the jungle is great, the real highlight is the variety of wildlife that seems to be just everywhere that you look.
