Singapore also dubbed the “Lion City” would beckon leisure travellers of all tastes and fancies to its remarkable country. Complete with rewarding trails and a plethora of attractions to behold and embrace, one’s time here is all set to go off extremely well. Set against its cosmopolitan and commercial vibe is a side to Singapore that few would dare venture to. Its hilly regions are a jewel of the rarest kind and penned down below is a range of highlights that would warrant your attention.

Bukit Kalang

For jaw-dropping vistas of nearby mountains and lush green foliage, look no further than the spectacularly situated Bukit Kalang which is famed for a 250-meter suspension bridge. Nature and animal lovers are sure to fall in love with its appeal that would undeniably grow on you no sooner you arrive here. However, be sure to avoid Mondays if you yearn for a walk along the bridge for the said construction is closed for visitors on this day.

Telok Blangah Hill

Connected by the neighbouring Mount Faber and Kent Ridge Park as part of a 9 km stretch that would be quite the adventure in itself should you happen to have plenty in reserve after you’re done at Telok Blangah Hill, the latter cannot be ignored at any cost when in Singapore. Rising to 106 meters in the air, patrons will be delighted to discover that the pathway leading up to Telok Blangah Hill is flanked by dense jungle that in turn, would present priceless opportunities to uncover the brilliance of Singapore’s outdoors. Interestingly, a night trekking expedition can also be gone on where you will only have the guidance of LED lights and of course, be sure to bring along the keen mountaineer in you.

Bukit Timah Hill

Having left an indelible mark in the nation as being its tallest mountain, Bukit Timah Hill stands at 163.3 meters and affords visitors a memorable journey to partake in. A wide array of views and sweet-smelling fragrances will coax you into quickening your pace with a firm focus on reaching the summit where even better vistas of surrounding regions can be enjoyed. Moreover, do make it a point to rest a while at the small pavilion at the top of the hill that has been built for the benefit of vacationers like you so that you indeed have time to catch your breath before the marvels of its immediate vicinity fall into your gaze.

Fort Canning Hill

Comprising stunning landscaped gardens and lines of trees that dot its entirety, Fort Canning Hill is unmistakable as it is inspiring. Showcasing the historical and cultural heritage of Singapore, those toying with heading over will not be disappointed. Made up of an ASEAN Sculpture Garden and a brilliant spice garden to inspect and enjoy, Fort Canning Hill is quite the far cry when on the subject of mountains in Singapore but remains a favourite owing to the scenic wonders that are part and parcel of this attraction.

Mount Faber

Detailing the elements of the natural world in no uncertain manner is the 105-meter-tall Mount Faber. Scenes of a mural wall can be delighted in once one is at the top of the hill but be mindful that the rainforest housed in its immediate vicinity deserves as much attention as the peak itself. Delve into the heart of local habitats where floral and faunal species of varying hues and sizes can be seen. These include Arenga Palms, Alstonia, Rhododendrons and Red Flame which tend to fall into focus wherever your eyes would rest on. Holidaymakers seeking short-term accommodation Singapore has to offer will do well to check out Citadines Fusionopolis Singapore for the property is found 15 minutes away from Mount Faber and thus, a good place to be based at.
