This is a safe and very easy introduction to hiking in this part of the world. But if you want the real experience you must go to Malaysia or Indonesia. There is a footpath all the way to the top of Bukit Timah (the hill the reserve is named after). Take water & mosquito repellent. Try and go early in... More

You would need to bring along water and a towel if you tend to sweat a lot. You could even hike to MacRitchie... More

Monkeys too, but thanks to the no... More
