Southern Ridges Park: Marang Trail


After spending about an hour on the submit, i decided to get back to the city. I walked around looking for a path of Marang Trail. Found one. i thought it was that trail which in return it was not. luckily there were an indian couple who advise me not to use that road cause it is a death road. As an alternative, i need to walk a little bit upwards to the lookup point. From there, you can find a signage of Marang Trail. Follow that trail and it will lead you to the car park in front of VIVO city.

Follow the steps and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rain forest.  

Don't mistaken this stairs as marang trail. Death road

Marang trail is on the right of Faber Point

Please note that the Marang trail covers an elavation / stairs of 70 meters. This trail not suited for little children and disabled person or less fit one. And there is no light along the trail. So, brng you torch light if come to the mountain early in the morning or after dark.

Distance: 0.8 km

Getting here:
1- By taxi to mount faber and walk along the trail

Southern Ridges Park: Faber Walk & Mount Maber Summit

Done with Henderson bridge, i continued my walk to the submit of Mount Faber via the Faber Walk / Trail. The walk is sheltered with trees and the pedestrian bridge is separated from the main road where motorist and biker pass through. It's forest left and right of the road and this give some covered against the hot weather.

The walk is disabled friendly too. So, it would be easier for people with child or disabled person strolling along the pedestrian walk. 

Time: it takes me about 10 minutes on foot. 

The loop offered a spectacular views of the Southern part of Singapore. You can see the cities, the sea and harbor from the peak.

There are several restaurant up here. Suitable for a romantic dinner and to woo your business associates. VEry nice ambient. 

Distance from Henderson Bridge to the Submit: 0.8km
