TANNY: Tree Top Walk @ MacRitchie
Written on: Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Time: 7:12 PM
  
Ever wondered how it feels to walk through a forest without touching the ground?Wondered what is happening up in the trees as you walk through the forest?
Well, as the title has said it, Tree Top Walk.
**A free suspension walkway across the MacRitchie Reservoir at a height of 25m above ground, spanning Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang, the two highest points in MacRitchie Reservoir.
The walkway gives one a closer look into the happenings in the forest and have a better look at our forest creatures like Colugos (flying lemurs) and Long-tailed macaques (monkeys);view trees from an entirely different angle and enjoy a panoramic view of Upper Peirce Reservoir. Some 80 species of birds and 18 rare trees have been spotted in the forest.
The site was carefully chosen to ensure that plant and animal communities were not disturbed during the building of the bridge. It will play an important role in forest canopy research, because it gives researchers access to areas off the ground.
Opening hours are Tue to Fri: 9am-5pm, Sat, Sun and Public Holidays: 8.30am-5pm. Closed on Mondays except public holidays for maintenance and research.
From the NParks website: "The TreeTop Walk is accessible from MacRitchie Reservoir Park via MacRitchie Nature Trail (indicated as Route 3 on map) or from Venus Drive, off Upper Thomson Road.
The distance to the entrance of the TreeTop Walk is approximately 4.5 km (1.5 - 2 hour walk) from the reservoir park and 2.5 km (45 mins - 1 hr walk) from the carpark at Venus Drive.
Therefore, a round trip including the TreeTop Walk is about 7 to 10 km (3-5 hours depending on your walking pace)." There will be a one-way traffic system on the Tree Top Walk. That is, visitors can only enter from the Bukit Peirce entrance (via Peirce Track). Walking towards Bukit Kalang, visitors will exit along the Petaling Trail.
This system is to allow visitors a more enjoyable visit. The walkway is narrow and the number of people that can be on the walkway at the same time is limited to 30 persons.
NParks rangers will also on hand at the site to assist visitors.
