The Rail Corridor may
be closing for a revamp soon, but that doesn't mean
that Singapore's other nature spots aren't worth the hike too. From
a breakfast and walk to Mount Faber, to a treetop walk at
MacRitchie reservoir, here are four outdoor events to hit:
Climb over 200 steps to the summit of Bukit Timah hill—this free
and non-competitive training exercise, organized by local fitness
community, Fitness
Kakis, is open to all. Do note that proper footwear
(such as trekking or running shoes) is required.
Where: Meet up at Bukit
Timah Visitor Centre (Hindehe Nature Park, 177 Hindhede Dr).
This members-only event hosted by the Nature Society Singapore will
bring partipants to the new Kranji Marshes Park, where they'll try
to spot butterflies and water birds.
Where: The
group will be meeting guide Anuj Jain at 8:30am at the Kranji
Marshes Visitor Centre (Neo Tiew Ln. 2).
Another event by Fitness Kakis, this leisurely hike to Mount Faber
hill starts with a breakfast at Seah Im Food Centre at 7:30
am.
Where: The
group is meeting at Harbourfront MRT's exit D at 7:30am for
breakfast.
The
Singapore Photography Academy is hosting an
all-day outdoor excursion for amateur and professional
photographers to MacRitchie Reservoir's treetop walk. The hike also
covers the Lower Pierce Reservoir, and the group will be breaking
for lunch at Casuarina Curry restaurant. Early RSVPs with the event code TTRE are
required, and the event costs $48 per person for members and $55
per person for the public.
Where: They will be
meeting at Bishan MRT at 8:30am, and a bus will be ferrying
