The Southern Ridges is a 10km stretch of trails connecting several well known parks in Bukit Timah’s vast vicinity including the Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park, and Labrador Nature Reserve. Expect a long day out if you wish to take up the forest walk and explore the green side of Bukit Timah starting from the entrance in Henderson Road.
Be it for a leisurely stroll, peaceful hike, bird watching, or simply a fun family outing at the park, it is advisable to start your trip early to The Southern Ridges. In fact, the weather is more pleasant in the cool and breezy morning. Here, you can take your own time to appreciate Singapore’s biodiversity as a result of its tropical climate-spot wildlife and rare species of trees as you trek the route to reach the next destination of your choice.
The Southern Ridges highlights include the Marang Trail, Forest Walk, and Henderson Waves. Leap into the forest with Marang Trail’s paved footpaths easing you into the tropical adventure that leads you to the top of Mount Faber. Get prepared to sweat it out and look out for dangerous wildlife to emerge victorious on the top of the mountain! Do not hurry the walk, just relax and try to catch a breath while enjoying the scenery for a bit before continuing the walk up.
At the Forest Walk, travellers will go on a forest exploration as the Elevated Walkway offers a unique experience of walking through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill. Seize this opportunity to closely look at wildlife carrying about their daily lives at an aerial view.
Alternatively, the Henderson Waves trail offers a different architectural delight; both functionally and aesthetically. Besides functioning as a pedestrian bridge connecting Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park, its wave-like aesthetic blends well with the stunning skyline. Fun fact: it is Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge!
