Singapore On Foot
Getting up close and personal with nature in Singapore is fairly easy. There are several walking and cycling trails that wind through nature reserves swathed in lush greenery and forests where you can spot large numbers of biodiversity, birds and other species.
After we completed our first ‘walk across Singapore challenge’ traversing the Coast-To-Coast Trail a few months back, Amanda and I decided on a more scenic (and shorter) route. We zeroed in on the Southern Ridges Trail and we were not disappointed. Filled with flora and fauna, birds and bees, and monkeys too, we embarked on our 10km walk from Mount Faber to Kent Ridge. It was fairly easy, and armed with just our water bottles, we completed it in less than two hours.
Marang Trail
The entrance of Marang Trail at Mount Faber Park is a wonderful welcome and start to the 10K walk. Surrounded by the lush trees and sounds of birds, the walk is moderately challenging as it is uphill.
Exploring Singapore on foot through our DIY South Ridge and Coast-To-Coast Trails opened our eyes to just how much of the green city we have not discovered. There are more trails we can plan for our next ‘walk across Singapore challenge’.
