Established in 1883, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is a lush sanctuary of primary rainforest nestled among Singapore’s urban landscape. Spanning 403 acres (163 hectares), the reserve is home to a diverse array of tropical plants and wildlife, including monkeys and butterflies. At its heart stands Bukit Timah Hill, rising 535 feet (163 meters) above sea level, one of the highest points in Singapore. Visitors can explore the dense foliage, spot native flora and fauna, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, making it a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
