Country side in Singapore - Visit to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Dear steemit friends,

Country side in Singapore , really ?

To be honest , if you live near forest or in other part of the world . This post might not be that exciting but I love a place like singapore has so much to offer , not just the concrete jungle of high rise buildings.

So lets follow with me to the largest mangrove forest in Singapore which is located in the far northeast of Singapore. ( apologises on the huge files sizes )

How to get there by Public transport?

It is only accesible By bus: Bus number is 925 from Kranji MRT Station.

First the drive passed through beautiful roads through green side of singapore, we passed by planting areas and animals farms.

What can we see at the wetland?

The wetland reserve is known for wildlife with tidal ponds and mangrove forests. And it also provides visitors a chance to encounter and admire these animals in their natural habitat. You would see literally monitor lizards sharing the same route with you or even crocodile!

You could also find different types of birds, kingfishers, monitor lizards and water snakes.But since they are in their nature habitat, it's better to have binoculars or sharp eyes.

We started the trail here.The size of the park is 202 hectares.

As soon as we started walking through this path , we heard magpies chatters , instantly set to the kind of jungle mood. Then we arrived to Wetland center and visitor center.

The Visitor Centre has a gallery, which features interactive educational tools such as multimedia games, a live camera s from various areas of the Reserve. We didn't spend the time there that much but to empty my bladders and filled up the water from the water coolers.There were vending machines that you can buy empty water bottle and other insects wipes etc if you ever need one .

Is this what the secret garden look like ?

Oh, just a bunch of bats chilling!

Watch out your path! The most common animal that we saw was the monitor lizard, they were everywhere and also hung out in the middle of the trail . Some of them are huge and a few of them are small.

To say the least, I was terrified, they just crawled too creepily.

This small ponds had beautiful lotus flowers where three of the monitor lizards liked to hang out.

This is the main bridge at entrance of Migratory Bird Trail. We saw a few people with extremely big lenses to catch the wandering birds. But my camera wasn't good for that, so I didn't have any photos.

This is the view of Migratory Bird Trail.. Some of the tiny birds like to hide inside those trees.

On these observation points, they display the types of birds u can see and their infomation.

There were shelters ( hides ) like this along the path.

There is also a tower so we decided to go there. But we were chased by the monkeys. The tiny monkey was pretty aggressive for his size

After getting some rest and view at the ariel tower. We continued to explore the park . There were several of scenic points on the trail.

There were lots of Mangrove trees exist which are located on both side of the trail. You get to see all those exposed and tangled roots up close.Unfortunately , there wasn't much water this time.

And then...

And yes we also find a few of them just sunbathing and chilling!

Since it's border by Malaysia, Johor Bahru . You can see the sky line from the ariel tower and this platform .

We saw a few other interesting plants, birds, grasshoppers and ended our day. I hope you enjoy following my visit!
