Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (GPS: 1.34839, 103.77746) is a protected forest area in the heart of Singapore. It is not located in the Bukit Timah Planning Area, but rather the Bukit Panjang Planning Area. This is one of the few remainder of virgin vegetation in Singapore, undisturbed by forest clearing and development.

The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve covers an area of 400 acres. It is the largest patch of primary rainforest in Singapore. The reserve is near the geographic centre of Singapore, and includes the slopes of Bukit Timah, the tallest hill on the island.

Together with the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the forested area covers 3,043 hectares and includes the areas of the MacRitchie Reservoir, Lower Peirce Reservoir, Upper Peirce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir. Of these, 163 hectares are some of the oldest intact rainforest in Singapore.

Adjacent to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is the Hindhede Nature Park, developed from an abandoned quarrry.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
