ROUTE

The journey starts at Kent Ridge and follows the path of the Southern Ridges, from Kent Ridge Park, to Hort Park, to Henderson Waves, and finally Mount Faber Park, before ending off at HarbourFront.

REFRESHMENTS

Soup Spoon at HarbourFront.

EXPERIENCE

Elevation change was the most significant part of the journey. Lots of overhead walkways, lots of stairs. But I think it's worth it. The tree top views (including the Henderson Waves) are so good. Makes you feel tall. Hort Park is also pretty good, with lots of information about plants and stuff. Out of the gardens, I think the Edibles Garden was the most memorable, because of the name =). Mount Faber was also pretty good, with a nice view of the Reflections at Keppel Bay, and the cable cars. There was one part of the journey that sucked, which was a particular section in the Southern Ridges. Due to construction, the route had to be shifted into Telok Blangah. Though an inconvenience, it's still fine since it was quite short. Overall a good walk.

TIPS

Of course, don't go into the parks if it's raining. The slopes are pretty steep, so tripping is a real possibility. Also, bring lots of water, as many of the vending machines, if any, are empty.
