Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to Fort Siloso

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Located in the North West of Singapore, it is the most futuristic reserve in the whole of Asia. It is the only reserve in Singapore that has been gazetted. It also serves as a global importance menu because it is a major point for migratory birds. It is spread across 130 acres of land and it gained fame only in the year 1986. The unusual part of this Reserve is that it has the highest variety of bird species that are not only from Singapore but also from Siberia.

During high tides and low tides you will see a lot of crabs and mudskippers around here. It is a great area for fishing as the fishes are in abundance here. The diverse set of birds can be seen feeding from the Flora and the Fauna. There are several observatory heights where visitors can sit quietly and look at the birds flying around in the tranquillity. Occasionally, you will also get to see crocodiles. The Reserve also engages in some educational programmes if you are interested. You have to dedicate an entire day to experience this Reserve as it is fairly a very big wetland and it will take you some time to cover the entire area. The Wetland Reserve is full of rich diversity. The Reserve also features extensive mangroves. You can also trek your way through this natural jewel and its many trades. While trekking you may come across shell fish, water snakes, spiders, monitor lizards. Bask in the beauty of the birds of this habitat like the Herons and Kingfishers.

Singapore has a good network of roads and is very well connected. This makes traveling completely hassle free and convenient. If you are looking forward to visit all of the above places then I recommend you to travel by bus as not only will it save you some money but also time.
