Last Sunday, the wifey and I went for our first hike of 2021 and it was truly a S.A.D. because it was the last day of the school holidays and the kids got the day off! 😆 So it was just the two of us and we decided to explore the north portion of the Green Corridor.
We started our hike from Hillview MRT and made our way toward the Hillview Park condo. There’s a short trail running beside it which leads to the proper Green Corridor trail and once we got on it, the sight that greeted us was simply beautiful. Trees lined each side of the trail and they leaned towards each other in the middle to form a picturesque arch. Simply lovely! No surprise then we dallied here a fair bit to take loads of photos. (Not having the kids with us helped too) 😂
The entire route runs alongside Upper Bt Timah Road on the right, and MINDEF on the left. Surprisingly, there were practically nobody walking this route while we were there. Perhaps everyone was at the more popular Old Bt Timah Railway Station section. 😅 But this stretch is worth a hike for the lush greenery and peaceful surroundings. We ended our hike at Junction 10 (Choa Chu Kang Road) and the total distance covered was 1.8km. So it’s entirely doable for young kids too as it’s a linear route with no elevation or extremely muddy paths. Click on the last photo for the detailed map! 😊
