My favorite walk in Singapore

Southern Ridges, in reverse. From Harbour Front to Kent Ridge via Marang Trail, Henderson Waves, Forest Walk, Alexandra Arch, Hort Park, and Kent Ridge Park. Total distance = 6 miles, plus another mile or so in connecting to bus and MRT. Total trip duration, including transit and sushi dinner: slightly less than 3 hours.

Starts from my apartment in Kent Vale

Short rides on a bus plus the MRT leads to Harbour Front

The walk begins with a climb up Mt Faber

Pleasant brick-paved walk with flowering overhang at the top

Amazing views of the Central Business District

Soon, one arrives at the Henderson Waves bridge

Extraordinary condominiums: Reflections at Keppel Bay

Next is a long gradually descending Forest Walk 

Excellent Forest Walk views blend trees and tall buildings

Interlace, another iconic private condominium complex

Alexandra Arch connects the Forest Walk to Hort Park

Pavilion and pool in Hort Park

Climbing stairs through the forest to Kent Ridge Park

The ridge line at Kent Ridge, with nice views to the south.

Back in "civilization" on Science Park Road.

Time for Umi Sushi at One@KentRidge

Quick bus ride brings me back to Kent Vale.
