MacRitchie Reservoir Pavilion

Highlight • Lake

A very nice hike goes around the reservoir. Nice variety with very good chances of sighting wild monkeys and monitor lizards. Include the HSBC treetop walk in your hike! Take plenty of water with you!

Jelutong Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb up the stairs is worthwhile. Perhaps it is worth taking binoculars with you if the view of the city is exceptionally clear.

May 4, 2025,Singapur: MacRitchie Reservoir – HSBC TreeTop Walk Runde von Caldecott

A fantastic hike in Singapore's jungle. It's less than half an hour on the MRT from the city center and you're already in the lush greenery. However, the hike was strenuous and sweaty due to temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and humidity levels of 90%. We were rewarded with beautiful views of the water reservoir, numerous butterflies, a whole host …

A jungle hike of approximately 14 km at the McRitchie Reservoir on the outskirts of Singapore. 🌴🌳🌿🐒 In the shady jungles, it's generally cooler than in the city, but at 31°C, the perceived temperature is around 40°C due to the humidity. A great route starting at the reservoir – easily accessible by MRT or bus. 🇸🇬👣 Along the trail, there's …

I sat in the Jering Hut for 1.5 hours due to heavy rain. 🌧️

April 28, 2024,MacRitchie Reservoir and Tree Top Walk

It is important to do the tour in this direction, because the Tree Top Walk is a one way path and start and end point are different. If you walk the other direction you will need to walk the rather unspectacular connection path twice instead of not at all... 😉

September 28, 2022,Tour

Today we went on the big circular path in the MacRitchie Reservoir including the TreeTop Walk. Very nice tour and very sweaty. But since it is always either in the forest or by the water, it is surprisingly bearable with an overcast sky, 29° and about 66% humidity. I've had worse weather here. On the way we saw monkeys and …

A fun family hike near home. Upper Thomson area is. One of the best central Singapore 🇸🇬 areas to access the wonderful amenities of the island -- nature trails, restaurants, and easy transport. To "Downtown."
