The HSBC TreeTop Walk (HSBC TTW)!!!!




The highlight of several long hiking routes in MacRitchie that brings you through different stages of mature secondary forest. The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region, this free-standing suspension bridge 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 distance to the entrance of the TreeTop Walk is approximately 4.5 km (1.5 - 2 hour walk) from the MacRitchie 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).

we took 3.5 hours.
we not only walked, we brave through rain (without any umbrella!). all we had was jus a bottle of water.
wow.. sounds like some jungle trekking right! :/
although im not a trail walking kinda person. i would say its rather good.
i din feel nauseous during the walk. was able to keep my breathing constant and it was great bonding time.
However after the walk, though feeling accomplished, we were totally drenched and tired.

but the shiokness is not here!


my feet felt like they just immersed themselves in a bucket of lemons.!
its suannnnnnnn daoooooooooooo!!!
until today i m still slowly limping to work, cause the pain shoot up to the thighs n butt area. :/

but den again, give me another time, i will still do it! but better prepare this time i guess. :)
