One of the best way to enjoy the nature reserves of Singapore is to take a hike along the 10 km trail connecting Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve.
I would recommend tackling Labrador Nature Reserve separately as it would be somewhat of a detour whereas the route linking Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill and HortPark and Kent Ridge is continuous. For more on Labrador Park, please refer to my post of 28 April 2018.
You will not find the casual tourist to Singapore at the Southern Ridges except at Mount Faber where they explore the rudimentary Faber Peak for cable car rides and Mount Faber Park for a panoramic view of Singapore.
If you mind the afternoon sun, then it would be best to start in the morning from either Mount Faber side or Kent Ridge side. For this walk, let's start after a hearty breakfast and toilet break at Seah Im Food Centre which is situated at the foot of Mount Faber and opposite Harbourfront.
