Bukit Timah Hike!

Siong took a day off from work to help me out my flea. The booking did not went through thought and we went hiking at Bukit Timah Hill instead!!! Boy has it been long since I last stepped foot on Singapore's tallest hill! The terrians and tracks have changed slightly, but I am glad the things I like: - the fresh air and greenery, the permanantly good weather among the forestation and not to mention, the gushing stream of cooling clear water along the Jungle Fall Path.

History of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Bukit Timah was one of the first reserves established in 1883. All the reserves were worked for timber except for Bukit Timah. In 1951, the reserve was further protected by legislation and is now adminstered by NParks.

And this is the route we took

1. South View Path
2. Catchmeet Path
3. Resticted/ Blocked up routes =P
4. Diary Farm Loop
5. Seraya Loop
6. Jungle Fall Path

We hiked about 3 hours in all, and here's some pictures!

Helpful monkeys helping each other with grooming,and the most adorable monkey with his usual antics =)You get to see strange wonders of nature if you take the nature paths... and enjoy the cooling nature walk with occasional burst of warm sunshine from a break in the canopy.
Towards the end of the route along the jungle fall path, a refeshing stream of clear cooling water serves as a great reward from the long hike and exercise =)And after going round and round the nature reserve, we finally reached the summit! At 163.63m high... TADA!!!! After disembarkment from the summit, we had a full lunch with fishball noodle, char kuay tiao and nasi lemak, lots of sugar cane drinks and a cooling avocado sea coconut for dessert!

Then a good rest treating our sore legs and tired bodies =P
