A TreeTop Walk At MacRitchie Reservoir
My family and I went to MacRitchie Reservoir this afternoon as we wanted to try out the walk at the HSBC TreeTop.
We reached there at the Venus Drive open car park at around 4:15pm and we were told that the gate would be locked by 5:00pm. So, we hurried ourselves so that we could be in time for the TreeTop visit.
Fortunately, we managed to reach the TreeTop two minutes before the Ranger locked the gate. Lucky Boy! Phews….
MacRitchie TreeTop Walk – Pic1 :
This is a free-standing suspension bridge that connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy.

The total length of the walkway is about 250m and its height from the forest floor varies, with the highest point at 25m. The walkway only allows for one-direction traffic. The entrance to the bridge is from Ranger Station via Peirce track.
We saw many monkeys hanging on the poles as well as along the roadside.

I snapped a picture of this tree that doesn’t have any leaf.

Although the weather was not too hot today, we still perspired profusely after walking for close to 3 hours at the MacRitchie Reservoir.
Anyway, it was indeed a fun walk hunting for the MacRitchie TreeTop today.

Hi Owner of Geotacs,
Thanks for visiting my Blog. Your Geotacs Blog (at http://geotacs.com/) is very informative. I would like to thank you for sharing the information with me and also to let people from all over the world to know more about Singapore.
Yes, it takes about 40 mins or so to walk from the Venus Drive open car park to the Treetop Walk. It’s such a long walk before finding the Treetop’s suspension bridge.
But it will take even longer (about 3 hrs) if you are walking from the main entrance of the MacRitchie Reservoir to the bridge. Anyway, this place is a good choice for people who love walking exercise very much, just like my friends.
Cheers,
Laingan
