Timah Nature Reserve
free guided walk
Let a guide
really show you the forest!
Going on a tour with a volunteer guide is the best way to see and
learn more about this special forest.
The walk takes you along the short South View
trail for a quick introduction to the rainforest. You will learn
more about the amazing plant life in a rainforest and how everything
fits remarkably together. If you are lucky, you might spot the noisy
Drongo with its flashy tail, or even some of the more elusive animals
such as the Flying lemur. The unpaved trail goes mostly uphill with
many steps cut into the ground. It is suitable for reasonably fit
adults and children, but not for those with walking difficulties.
Pre-booked guided tours
You can also book a guided tour. There is a charge of $60 per group
(max 15 persons per group). Up to 2 guides (for 30 participants) can
be arranged for a session. At least 2 weeks' notice is required to
ensure the availability of the nature guides. More
details on the NParks website.
Other nature events at and near the Reserve
Do check the NParks
website for other adhoc events, e.g., the Native Plant Hunt at
Hindhede Park nearby.
