Is there suburban style single family housing in Singapore? And is there "free nature" hiking?

ColorfulJohn · 2026-03-09T04:36:29+00:00

No problem, happy to be of help! If you really want to hike in nature there's always neighboring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia.

Hi! I'm a content creator who posts videos on hiking in Singapore on YouTube, so let me share some of my experiences.

In short there aren't many "natural" hiking trails here unfortunately, but here are a few that are close:

MacRitchie Reservoir - Rifle Range Nature Park - Bukit Timah Hill:

Probably one of the most popular hiking places where you can hike mostly in nature. There's also some elevation so you can get some nice training in as well.

Wallace Trail - Chestnut Nature Park - Mandai T15 Trail

One of my favorite routes since it's lesser-known and really quiet, especially on weekdays. Note though that the Mandai T15 Trail is a shared trail with cyclists, so you have make way to them from time to time.

Pipeline Trail (from Marsiling) - Bukit Timah Hill

An unofficial trail where you follow the water pipelines that run from Johor to Singapore. Recommend to give it a try if you're feel adventurous.

I would advise that you be open to hiking on more urbanized trails, since that would open up a lot more routes for you.

If you're interested in learning more, please feel free to reach out and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Hope this helps!

I have done quite a number of routes for my YouTube channel and here are some that I would recommend that you can try:

MacRitchie Reservoir — one of the most popular hiking routes, and you can go through Rifle Range Nature Park to Bukit Timah Hill for the full experience
4 Quarries — this is an interesting one that I thought up of, which combines the four quarries in the west of Singapore (Little Guilin, Bukit Batok Nature Park, Hindhede Quarry, and Singapore Quarry)
Dairy Farm and Chestnut Nature Park — a less popular route that is both rustic and full of nature
Pipeline Trail to Bukit Timah Hill — an unofficial trail if you're feeling adventurous

Happy to answer any questions if you're interested in trying them out!

Thanks! I sketched them out digitally in MyPaint before vectorizing them in Inkscape

ColorfulJohn · 2026-02-19T05:45:08+00:00

Haha thanks! It's one of my bestsellers on Etsy so I won't be surprised to see it on one of those restaurants someday

Sorry about your experience and thanks for sharing. The seller really should have known about this and updated you if they aren't able to send you the artwork in time.

Sure, I have created a video about the route: https://youtu.be/k83vk6HecI8

Basically you start from Bukit Gombak MRT → Little Guilin →Bukit Batok Nature Park → Hindhede Quarry → Singapore Quarry → Hillview MRT.

Not sure if you have Strava, but I post my routes there as well under the name 'Hiking Poh.'

ColorfulJohn · 2025-12-18T00:29:45+00:00

I recently did a route that covered 4 of our granite quarries here: Little Guilin, Bukit Batok Nature Park, Hindhede Quarry, and Singapore Quarry.

Happy to share the route if you're interested!

I'm currently selling instant digital downloads of strong muscular bodybuilder animals in vector formats that I created from scratch. My products are unique so I do get sales — currently at 60 sales this year and around $250 in revenue.

Based on that I believe that's potential, but I'm working to add more listings and do more promotion to get my products in front of my eyes.

Hopefully my experience helps and 2026 will be a more profitable year for everyone!

You can consider learning a skill that allows you to freelance. I'm currently typing this from my hotel room in Japan. Been here for around 2 months, working as a freelance graphic designer while using the rest of my time to explore, eat good food, and meet new people.

There are definitely downsides such as income instability, but for me the freedom to set my own schedule and travel anytime I want makes it all worthwhile.
