5 Reasons for Visiting the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is one of Singapore’s most interesting nature spots. As you might know, Singapore is an urban jungle and it is difficult to find natural greenery and places to sit down and enjoy the sun and sky.
Well, if you have the time when you’re in Singapore, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is definitely one place you want to visit.
Read on ... this article shows five reasons why I think you should visit the Bukit Timah
Nature Reserve.
1. One Of The Most Well-Preserved Nature Parks
The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is one of the most well-preserved nature parks in Singapore. Walking along the trail will enable you to experience some of the most beautiful flora and fauna seen on the island. Bring the whole family along and see how nature looks like from this corner of the city state!
2. See The Monkeys!
Believe it or not, you will see monkeys in the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. These little monkeys (not harmful in case you’re afraid) sit around the trail to the top of the
Bukit Timah
Hill, ready for you to feed peanuts or other snacks.
I think the kids will absolutely love the
opportunity to interact with the little monkeys.
3. Get A Spectacular View Of Singapore
If you persist and climb to the top of the Bukit Timah Hill, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view of Singapore and a rare chance to see the island from its highest vantage point. Yes, the Bukit Timah Hill is indeed the highest point in Singapore. So make sure you get to the top of the hill – don’t give up!
4. Go Off The Beaten Path
Here’s another reason to visit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – most tourists who visit Singapore only go around the ‘standard’ places like the
Singapore Zoo,
Orchard Road,
Sentosa – all the places you see in a tourist guide. But – few people go off the beaten path and visit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Do this and I guarantee you will have a worthwhile trip in Singapore!
5. Get A Bit of Exercise
Oh course, the final reason for visiting the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve? To get some exercise of course! Work out and work off those fats (just joking). The climb to the top of the Bukit Timah Hill actually does take quite a bit of effort. You can do it by walking but it will take probably a hour or so to reach the top – so you can imagine the kind of workout you’re having.
