Walking & hiking trails in Singapore
Sure, Singapore may be teeny tiny. We don’t have our own Alps, or the insanely-long Trans Bhutan Trail. That’s not to say explorers have to sit on their bum bums and wait for their vacation to embark on their next adventure.
Our little red dot happens to be pretty green, with loads of nature parks we can pop by. We’ve got easy peasy hikes as short as 0.4km to crazy ones stretching 150km. Young or old, beginner or fitspo, there’s going to be something for you in the mega-list of 50 walking and hiking trails.

1. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – Fastest way to our highest peak
The closest thing we have to a mountain in Singapore is Bukit Timah Hill, and it’s nestled in the 163-hectare rainforest of one Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Starting from the visitor centre, the Summit Trail will take you straight to top in 45 minutes or less.
You’ll be starting off the hike with a steep climb, which eventually tempers down to a much more manageable amble. While this trail is suitable for physically fit adults and teens, those with difficulties walking are recommended to sit this one out.
Distance: 1.2km
Difficulty: Medium
Getting there: Take buses 67, 75, 170, 171, 184, 852, 961 and alight opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre and Opp Beauty World Ctr. Or, head to Beauty World MRT and take exit A and walk towards Hinhede Drive.
2. Hindhede Nature Park – Mini-ziplines & quarry views
A gentler alternative to the Summit Trail, Hindhede Nature Park has a more family-friendly climb with slower inclines and well-defined footpaths. The little ones can go ham at the playground, which sports enough swings, trampolines, and mini-ziplines to keep them tickled. It’s right beside Bukit Timah Nature Reserve too, so it won’t take a separate hike to get here. Read More…
