Sharing another hiking adventure at MacRitchie Reservoir Park Singapore guys!
This time it was exciting and a bit tiring because we trekked on the Lornie trail side
and in there, to my surprised we saw a lot of monkeys everywhere.
Family monkeys with their babies together chiiling along side the trail.
Baby monkeys i find looks weird. They look like an alien to me . Haha!
So , when we were about to go in the trail, some monkeys blocked me and stole our
food!
I was really scared and stunned 'cuz their eyes looked so fierce and I felt they were
gonna attack me. But lo and behold! They were only after my food in a plastic bag!
So I just let go of it. My gf was sooo angry at me ahahhahah! She can't move on of why I let
them took it away. loooool!
So I learnt, that the monkeys are sensitive and always gets alerted of the sound of a plastic bag/courier
'cuz they know there's food inside. That's a tip yah?
So there they went! Partying with our donuts.
So guys! If it's gonna be your first time in MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Singapore
I advise you not to bring any plastic bag cuz they will surely steal it from you.
But if ever they do that to you, just shoo them away with a stick or your hand
and that will scare them away too. REMEMBER: DO NOT HURT THEM!
Next time when we go back in there, I will know what to do already.
Excited to see them again.
I have gathered some infos about MacRitchie Reservoir Park below.
Thanks Google!
Mention MacRitchie to any Singaporean and the talk will certainly turn to cross-country runs, nature trails and the TreeTop Walk.
Anchored by Singapore’s largest reservoir—part of a water catchment system that captures rain water—the park and nature reserve at the very heart of Singapore is a popular destination for runners, water sports enthusiasts, and of course nature lovers.
If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the tranquility of walking above lush green foliage, you’ll get your chance at the Treetop Walks, a 250-metre aerial free standing suspension bridge spanning the two highest points within MacRitchie.
Take an exhilarating walk around the 11-kilometre nature trail loop known as MacRitchie Trails, located within the tropical rainforest of Central Catchment Nature Reserve. You’ll likely bump into long-tailed macaque monkeys, squirrels and monitor lizards (yah! We spotted monitor lizard chiiling along the way). If you’re lucky, you may even encounter colugos (flying lemurs) or owls!
MacRitchie Reservoir was constructed in 1867, through a donation of S$13,000 by philanthropist Tan Kim Seng, and is one of the four reservoirs located within the nature reserve. The others include Lower Peirce Reservoir, Upper Peirce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir.
With so many attractions and scenic spots of nature on offer, MacRitchie is an excellent destination for anyone who loves fun and the outdoors.
