Known forprimary rainforestbiodiversityhikingnature reserve
Home to Singapore's highest natural point at 163.63 metres, this reserve protects one of the world's few remaining patches of primary rainforest within a city. The summit trail is a genuine workout and rewards with dense canopy, long-tailed macaques, and flying lemurs if you are lucky. It is a serious nature reserve, not a manicured park. Caveat: the main summit trail gets congested on weekend mornings; arrive before 8am or take the quieter Dairy Farm Loop to avoid the crowds.
