Bukit Timah Reserve, the place to be!!


Bukit Timah Reserve is the ONLY primary rainforest left in Singapore which shelters more species of trees than the entire North American continent.



It is established in 1883 and in 1951; it received more protection under the Nature Reserves Ordinance which was enacted under the National Parks Act.

This lush 164-hectare reserve now has 840 flowering plants and over 500 species of animals.

Towering trees, climbing palms (better known as rattans), ferns, orchids, gingers and strange blooms such as the can be spotted easily.



If you want something more challenging, try finding the insect-eating pitcher plant!!


The most commonly encountered animal is the Long-tailed Macaques (monkey)
which room around freely. You may even spot them swing from tree to tree!!
But please do not feed them as it does more harm than good to them.

Open your eyes and be more observant to spot Flying lemur (Colugo), squirrels and forest birds which include the Striped tit-babbler, the Fairy bluebird, drongos and bulbuls.
