According to Warren's Kindersley Guide about Singapore, Bukit Timah - one of the two surviving rainforest in the world, which are in the city. On the map The reserve is a forest with paved paths through it on routes of varying difficulty.

In the forest, grow various tropical trees with signs and reviews, and without ones,

live monitor lizards, monkeys (have seen), snakes (of the messages in the reserve)

butterflies

The reserve has a gazebo and racks with the designation area, at the entrance there is information office. Admission is free. Cards are not issued to avoid littering the territory. Feed the animals forbidden on pain of a fine.

Overall, a pleasant place for fans of easy walks, and for those who prefer to walk on steep trails. If you can not or did not plans to travel outside of Singapore in more distant jungle, it is the best. Monitor lizards are harmless, but macaques can be aggressive if they are worried from you (I got this in the path, the macaque-male, was walking towards me with a half-open mouth, as soon as I put the camera, he went off the road into the jungle, and there I saw their whole family ).

In the trees, chirping birds and cicadas. On the territory of the forest are two lakes with limestone cliffs.

In clear water of lakes swim turtles. I do not know what it is, but to evoke thoughts of penalties for troublemakers of reserve (just kidding):

So choose the appropriate shoes. In sneakers Aisiks I felt safe, but if you have trekking footwear - take it. Otherwise you can leave your shoes there.
