Hikers in Singapore!

[HikingPoh]

Hi everyone! I'm a graphic designer who in my free time enjoys hiking around Singapore. Just looking to connect with other hikers, share our experiences, and recommend routes. Looking forward to seeing your photos and videos.

Here's a hike I did last week along the Pipeline Trail to Bukit Timah Hill. It's a fun adventure if you don't mind bashing through grass, crossing a couple of streams, and getting bitten by mosquitoes. The terrain is quite uneven with lots of slopes, and you need to climb up the stairs up Bukit Timah Hill at the end, so get ready for your legs to get a good workout. I have created a YouTube video on this hike if you're interested:

Here's a hike along Kallang River and Whampoa River, with the highlight being a climb up 40 stories of HDB flat called Whampoa Dew. The terrain is flat and all pavement, so it's not very challenging and easy to navigate. It's why I decided to include Whampoa Dew, since staircase climbing is a good full-body workout and training for overseas hikes:

Here's a hike through Wallace Trail, the Dairy Farm Loop, and Hindhede Nature Park. The Dairy Farm Loop just reopened recently, having been closed for some time due to a landslide. With lots of stairs and uneven terrain, this route is great for working out your legs and training for overseas hikes. I was also fortunate enough to encounter a keeled rat snake (nonvenomous) on my way to the summit of Bukit Timah Hill.

It was really fun! I went up Mount Takao, Mount Tsukuba, and Mount Nokogiri, and did a couple of other hiking routes during this trip.

I posted about those hikes on my other thread, so feel to check it out if you're interested.

Thanks! I did the hikes alone, but I went on the trip with my wife.

Here's a hike I did through Lower Seletar Reservoir, Yishun Dam, and onto the Round Island Route. It's a relatively easy hike since the terrain is mostly flat and pavement, with toilets along the way. At 16 kilometers though, the distance will still give your legs a decent workout while you enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Here's a hike I did where I explored the Old Bukit Timah Saddle Club before climbing up Bukit Timah Hill and finishing at Dairy Farm Nature Park. I wanted to visit the Old Bukit Timah Saddle Club, which was established in 1951, before it closes completely for redevelopment — part of the site has already been closed when I was there.

Thanks for sharing your hiking journeys keep the content coming!

Here's a hike I did starting around Jurong Lake Gardens. It's a well-known garden in the heartlands, and only recently reopened with the completion of the Chinese Garden and the Japanese Garden.

Here's a hike I did to four quarries, namely Little Guilin, Bukit Batok Nature Park, Hindhede Quarry, and Singapore Quarry.

Quarrying is a significant part of Singapore's history, fueling its development into the 20th century. It's nice to be able to visit such landmarks even now, and the route is very beginner-friendly and accessible as well.

Here's a hike I did from Khatib to Punggol, going through Pulau Punggol Barat and Timor. The 2 islands are reclaimed off Seletar, serving as stockpile sites for granite and sand in Singapore.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this route, since there isn't much nature to enjoy, and it gets really dusty and sandy when hiking through the 2 islands. There is a supposedly scenic spot along the way, but to me it was quite underwhelming.

Thanks so much for sharing. Your vids definitely give a better idea of what to expect before we explore some of these routes.

And of course, the descriptions. So that we can decide which ones to start off first, and which to avoid.

Sorry for the late response! I'm glad you found my videos helpful and wishing you a wonderful 2026!

Happy 2026! Here's the first hike I did this year through Sungei Kiri Park Connector and Sembawang Beach, visiting a hidden spot called Eagles Point along the way.

It's a nice, scenic, and straightforward route, though there's a bit of bashing involved going to Eagles Point. The area is also quite quaint and countryside, so you get to experience a different side of Singapore with a bit of colonial history thrown in as well.

Here's a hike I did from Jurong East to Pandan Reservoir, going along Ulu Pandan Park Connector and Pandan Gardens Park Connector.

Pandan Reservoir is the largest service and only elevated reservoir in Singapore. It was my lucky day, since not only was the weather cloudy and cooling, but I had a close-up encounter with a family of otters as well.

Here's a hike I did around Sentosa, going through Imbiah Trail, Fort Siloso, and along Beach Walk.

Sentosa might be known as popular tourist attraction and home to Universal Studios Singapore, but it also has a lot of nature and history to explore, being a military fortress used by the British during the Second World War.

The island also has more than 60 peafowls, and I had an interesting encounter with one during this hike.
