Start at Marymount MRT, and basically follow the MacRitchie path through the boardwalks and to the Jelutong tower, and the Tree Top Walk. End at Upper Thomson MRT.
We had lunch at Thomson Plaza (Bali Thai?). And we had a bread break at the tower. No other place to have a meal, unfortunately.
I think this was my favourite nature walk. Rather than the Rifle Range road, this walk is next to the reservoir, so there's quite a good selection of nature stuff to see. The Jelutong tower was pretty good, very tall so can rest and see all the surrounding nature, with practically no building in sight. But the best part has to be the TreeTop Walk, which was quite clear and sunny on the day, to really enjoy the nature. Very high yet very safe. Though the downside is that you can't really spend much time up there to take photos, as it's only a one-lane path, meaning you have to keep moving forward. I did manage to take some photos, though. The climbs towards and away from it were tiring too.
Dangerous when wet. Who knows if you'll fall into the reservoir.
