It offers quite some breathtaking views (well, it's quite something for Singapore) but I wouldn't really recommend it for tourists. You'll probably find yourself a bit disappointed because it's not really meant to be (nor marketed as) a tourist spot. Take a stroll there if you have extra time, but certainly don't make it a priority unless you're in SIngapore... More

Make sure you have comfy shoes and water but the scenery and interesting things on the way is worth the walk. There are some parts that could do with a bit more sign posting and not really any food available on the way until you end up in Vivo City shopping centre. Also, as I had previously read on TA,...

We walked from the Kent Ridge to Vivocity. The walk begins going through a Science & Technology park which offers a nice contrast to the majority of the walk. The first park is Kent Ridge park which as a nice (small) lake which is very nice with the highlight being the Canopy walk. The only problem is that the signs... More

Its a good walk to Mt Faber from Alexandria Bridge on a metalled boardwalk elevated up above ground amidst many tropical but not jungle trees. Walk on the Henderson wave bridge on its wooden flooring ending up at Mt Faber where a further walk on the trail will bring you the road across Vivo city.

A visit here is another way to spend your day differently. Here you'll find a great walkway that will lead you to Mount Faber, but beware that this might take up a lot of your energy walking quite a long distance. Great place to get good photos, and the scenery as well is very enthralling.

A visit of The Southern Ridges is a way to escape the urban atmosphereof the city and have another point of view. I recommand you to wear walking shoes Have a look to Henderson Waves bridge for an uncommon architecture

We started the walk from the MRT at Kent Ridge an finished at Mount Faber. It was increadibly hot so we did feel like we were melting by the time we finished. Went via Hort Park, the treetop walk, Henderson Waves etc over about 2 hours. Beautiful views, wild monkeys and stunning jungle walk. Make sure you takes lots water... More

There have been many many improvements in Singapore over the last few years: One of them is that they have constructed special bridges to link the various hikes along what is known as the Southern Ridges. Yesterday I hopped up Mount Faber where I spent a happy hour watching the cable cars going across to Sentosa, mooching around the top-end... More

Tucked amongst the heritage site of Bukit Chendu, one can venture the entire southern ridge line which is now becoming more popular after park connectors made its appearance to bridge the entire island. Being one of the least commercialized parks on the island, one can still see amazing flora and fauna composition in this region. Bring along a pair of... More

We did this walk after reading about it here on T.A. and doing a bit more research. Was definately worth the effort. We walked from East to West. Started by taking the first morning MRT from Somerset to Harbourfront and straight out exit D (Marang Road). It was still dark so we climbed the stairs on the first part by... More
