20240907 Bukit Timah hill

Dated SK to accompany me to walk the devil steps to train stamina.







We had discussed to take a longer route by combining green and yellow trails. 💪

Starting time: 8.55 am

Still looking fresh in the morning, let's see how we look after the hike.


Headed down the steps on the right after 2 mins walk to the green route



Taking the South View Path

And reached South View Hut soon

To the Cave Path




And soon see the 2 caves and mini waterfall






Back up to head to the summit


Rest at the Simpang Hut before taking the steps on the right up to summit



We completed green route and summit in approx. 40 mins.



Tallest "mountain" in SG at 163.63 m


Moving on to the yellow route

Head down to Dairy farm loop, difficult, estimated to take 1.5 hours


Some downs and ups..








Reached Dairy Farm Hut

We are here

Going up the not so steep steps behind the hut

Then came the 283 "devil" steps 😰


Many checkpoints along the way, I took a few breaks in between to slow down heart rate before continuing.


Final flight up to summit


Still looking fresh after the devil steps.
We took approx. an hour to complete the yellow route, better than the estimated given time.
It was also much better than in 2014, where me, kids and ex-colleague did the same route and took more than 2 hours to complete.



6.06 km, 1 h 42 mins

Sinful breakfast opposite the nature reserve

Continued alone to Queensway for shopping
