what 11km
...... 
Starting from Macritchie Carpark, either you take the left flank or right flank, the distance is around 5km to the "base camp" aka Ranger Station. There is a watercooler at the Ranger Station.
There is a long slope upwards until the entrance of the tree top, which is around 300-400 metres.
Total is around 11km & not 1 way is 11km.
4-5 hrs...for those uncle, auntie lah... ...i run only take me 1 hr to complete the whole route nia.... i remember taking part in Big Walk(10km),walk slowly, only take me 2-3hrs nia. -
You may as well say running a marathon only took you 4 hoursOriginally posted by kops21:what 11km ......

in my previous post, my 11km means the whole thing 11km.. 4-5 hr means you'll cover the whole thing in 4-5 hrs, from entrance to entrance..
as for the short cut from Singapore CC, it means go in 1 hour, come out 1 hour..
paiseh if it confused anyone.
Oh yah!! forgot to mention that stoopid slope!! it's a killer..Originally posted by kops21:There is a long slope upwards until the entrance of the tree top, which is around 300-400 metres.
But after walking 4k, die die also u'll clear it lah..
There's no entrance fees, tho there are rumours that they may start collecting $1 soon.. If they start collecting, i really dunno who will go man. -

ur 2nd pic cant c leh... -
Been there, best go during week days, not so many ppl. Weekend the place is like a maket place...
Depend on where your starting pt is. either way are FUN for me. go early in the morning say reach there latest by 8am (fresh air, not hot). will be seeing a few jogging along the way both on the long and short route. it free for now i think. when i was there, it free. how soon they going to start charge ppl, no idea. bring lots of water if you drink alot as the oni water point is at the ranger station after you start off.
After the walk on bridge... all you will see is this... flight and flight of stairs...
-
Yah.. Go on weekday better. The last time I went on a Wednesday afternoon and only saw a total of 8 pple throughout my entire time in there. And only 4 went to the tree top trail.
Worse was when i went on a Sunday, left right front back also got joggers, most were considerate some were not. Very irritating. -
