I and my friends were bored at home during Chinese New Year period, so we decided to explore Bukit Timah nature reserve. It was quite hot outside, despite the weather geared up and get our rides and went straight to Bukit Timah. The place has got a different vibe a different energy. Hiking trail in this place are popular. Our objective is to experience nature in its pristine form. This place is singapore’s one of the richest and most diverse ecological system.   This 163-ha reserve includes Singapore’s highest hill, Bukit Timah Hill, which stands at 163 m and retains one of the few areas of primary rainforest in the country. The forest on the hill has been a botanical collection ground for more than a century, and the first known specimens of many species of Malayan plants have been obtained here. Established in 1883, Bukit Timah Forest Reserve was one of the first forest reserves to be created in Singapore, as recommended by Nathaniel Cantley, the then Superintendent of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. In 1882, Cantley was commissioned by the government of the Straits Settlements to prepare a report on the forests of the settlements. In his report, he recommended for several forest reserves to be created on the island, which were established over the next few years.
