What You Will Do
Are you someone who enjoys nature and hiking? If so, let's discover the Southern Ridges, a series of hills and parks that connect Kent Ridge Park, Hort Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Mount Faber Park, and Labrador Nature Reserve.
During this excursion, we will trek to the Henderson Waves, a pedestrian bridge that spans a deep valley 36 meters beneath. We will then proceed to Faber Point, the highest point in Mount Faber Park. From the observation areas there, we will have a panoramic vista of the city, the southern region of Singapore, and the southern islands. Learn also about the everyday life of an average Singaporean and the development of Singapore's housing and maritime industries.
This hike takes you through a secondary forest with a diverse variety of flora and fauna. As we walk along the treetops, be on the lookout for the oriental whip snake basking on the branches, the cicada's call, or the straw-headed bulbul's song. This journey is definitely a nature lover's paradise!
