Rainforests are known for their importance in regulating the global climate and for their exceptional biodiversity.

Only a 15 minute drive from downtown Singapore, the 164 hectare Bukit Timah Nature Reserve retains the largest remnants of primary rainforest that once used to cover more than 80% of the island's land area. At the center of the reserve is Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore's highest elevation at approximately 163 meters.

Once feared for the many tigers that were roaming the forest, the wilderness surrounding the hill has now become a green haven for nature lovers and the adventurous.

Typical of an ecosystem near the equator, an astonishing diversity of plants and animals can be found in the reserve. Bukit Timah is home to almost 900 plant species and countless insect species.

Majestic forest giants, some of which hundreds of years old, dominate the scene; their dense canopy provides the mystic twilight that shades the trails criss-crossing the forest floor. A maze of lianas and rattan palms and the incessant sound of the cicadas add to the mystery. Who knows, we might even spot the iconic Flying Lemur, aka Colugo.
