MacRitchie Treetop Walk

The TreeTop Walk (TTW) is the highlight of several long hiking routes at MacRitchie that brings you through the different stages of a mature secondary forest. The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region as well, this free-standing suspension bridge connects the two highest points, Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kallang, 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 250 m and its height from the forest floor varies, with the highest point at 25 m. The TreeTop Walk also play an important role in forest canopy research as it gives researchers access to areas well off the ground.

How to get there

“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).”
