A hike up to the dizzying summit of the tallest mountain in all of Singapore at a staggering 164 meters.
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.
A seamless expanse of green open spaces, the Southern Ridges is a 10-km trail that offers a unique outdoor experience in the southwest of Singapore.

Themed gardens in HortPark featuring the latest in garden and landscape designs will satisfy any gardening enthusiast or interest a curious trekker. Replace the sounds of the hustle and bustle of city life with the symphony of insects and birds, and explore one of Singapore’s most exciting recreational destinations.
