Bukit Timah Natural
Reserve |
 |
 |
It may surprise many to know that the small city-state of
Singapore is only one of two cities in the world to have a
significant area of primary rainforest within its boundaries
– the other being Rio de Janeiro. Only 12 kilometres from
the city, this lush 164-hectare reserve contains more
species of trees than the entire North American continent.
Trek through the jungle via well-marked paths and look out
for exotic birds, butterflies, monkeys, squirrels and flying
lemurs, as well as unique plant life like the insect-eating
pitcher plant.
