Whoa...what a weekend after long time. Best hiking experience in Singapore till date. I had only heard that this place has good walking trail connected between two trees. Had also checked out some good pics, found interesting, so decided to go over weekend.
Took cab to reach macritchie reservoir park, best way to reach park using public transport is get to Caldecott MRT and then 1 km walk to Reservoir. I started from home today morning around 11.30am and was there at park by 12.15. There is one good cafeteria and map information besides it.
On enquiring, got to know the walk to tree top is around 5kms and it will take 2 hours to reach and same way back. And there is no food options inside the reservoir. So decided to have lunch and proceed, but was sad to know that cafetria had no vegeterian options. Atleast was grateful, they had bananas in the store for all veges.
The walk to tree top was really awesome, with water reservoir on the way. They also have good Kayaking activity, where we saw groups of people enjoying this activity.
The way to tree top was very amazing with all dense forest, and route was uphill. I thoroughly enjoyed the every bit of the walk, after all this was trekking sort of walk after long time. Sad that there is no options of mountain climbing in Singapore.
On the way there was very spectacular view of golf course. Took break for sometime for some good photography.
Its worth taking breaks on the way since the route is covered with dense forest and no bright sun even in afternoon. You can relax.
Once we reached and saw Tree top gate from some distance, we had great sigh of relief. After all it was more than 5 kms of walk! But the place was awesome.
Tree top had some really breath taking view from height of 25m. I was for sometime not feeling to leave the tree top bridge and wanted to go back and forth between the bridge. But unfortunately the bridge is one way and you are not allowed to go back. Total bridge was is just 250m but its really amazing.
Started on the way back, which seemed more taxing after having seen tree top walk. But even this time, like Sungei buloh visit, spotted another monitor lizard or one of its kind but very small in size
Took an another 2 hours to reach car park, but whole walk into dense forest left me feel very refreshed.
Things to note:
1. Tree top walk gate closes at 5 pm and last entry allowed at 4.45pm.
2. Have food and proceed to Tree top walk.
3. Do not carry food items. Lot of monkeys on the way ready to snatch you bag. But do carry water bottle or energy drink.
4. Have some good camera with you, views are really breath taking on tree top.
