Frequently Asked Questions about the
HSBC TTW
How do we get there?
The HSBC TreeTop Walk is accessible from MacRitchie Reservoir Park
via MacRitchie Nature Trail. The walk will approximately be 4.5 km
(2-3 hours walk) from the reservoir park. The HSBC TTW is the
highlight of an 11 km-hiking route in MacRitchie that brings you
through different stages of mature secondary forest. We are also
currently exploring possibility of providing other access
points.
Getting to MacRitchie Reservoir

The 11 km-route in MacRitchie is a loop trail, with trails
beginning in both directions from MacRitchie Reservoir Park. From
the bus-stop and carpark, you can either walk left and pass the
zig-zag bridge to Lornie Trail or right to pass the fishing ground
to MacRitchie Nature Trail to begin.
What is the opening hours ?

Note: The HSBC TTW is closed on Mondays for maintenance and
research.
Do we need to pay?
There is no admission charge at the moment.
How many people can the HSBC TTW
accommodate?
For the comfort and enjoyment of all visitors, we will be
restricting visitor numbers to 30 pax at any one time as well as
visitor flow. The traffic along the walkway is one-way. Therefore,
visitors will enter via the ranger post at Bukit Peirce and exit at
Bukit Kalang and continue on to the Petaling Trail.
What can we see up there?
Instead of arching their necks to observe the canopy, visitors are
now able to catch a glimpse of the vibrant high life of the
forest at their eye level. From this high vantage point, nature
enthusiasts will be able to have a closer observation of the animal
community in the canopy or take a peek at the flowers or fruits of
tall trees and climbers and their pollination activities
Are there any resting stops along the
11km-route?
A Ranger Station is located at the cross road of the 11 km- hiking
route. It serves as a convenient resting point, with basic
amenities such as toilets and a water cooler, and an information
kiosk for users. There are also two shelters at the 2.8 km and 5 km
mark along the route.
The ranger station will be occupied during normal working hours.
Visitors who need assistance outside the office hours can contact
our 24-hours ranger number at 64685736.
