HSBC TreeTop Walk

Where : McRitchie Reservoir
Place : HSBC Treetop Walk
When : 2007

It has been almost one year now that i last visited the HSBC Treetop Walk. Do i missed the walk there? Of course. Even tho in 2007 I have walked the canopy walk few times, i never grew tired of it.

Anyway, since im rather free now i just wanna write a short article on my hiking trip to the TreeTop Walk.

McRitchie Reservoir

I have heard of the treetop canopy walk constructed in McRitche when it was first open in July 2004, but didnt make a trip there coz I've never hike before and had no friend who love nature walk as much as i do. So, finally when a friend mentioned about going hiking in McRitchie back then in 2007, i'm so excited to go. I didn't know what to bring, what to expect during the hike. So i did little homework and surf the net to get some tips. It turn out that McRitchie terrain is not difficult at all.

A group of nine of us gathered for the hike. In the group, there's two who have had hike in McRitchie before, so that muster some confidence in me shud we encounter any mishap, at least someone knows what to do.

For a first timer, i must say that it wasn't difficult or challenging to walk up those slopes and walk on those nature trails. But walking on the canopy walk is rather scary esp those who's afraid of height.

HSBC TreeTop Walk

The walkway is at 25m above the ground. It is a one-way traffic system on the Tree Top Walk. That is, visitors can only enter from the Bukit Peirce entrance (via Peirce Track). Walking towards Bukit Kalang, visitors will exit along the Petaling Trail. This system is to allow visitors a more enjoyable visit. The walkway is narrow and the number of people that can be on the walkway at the same time is limited to 30 persons. NParks rangers will also on hand at the site to assist visitors.

The TreeTop Walk is open from :
Tue to Fri: 9am-5pm
Sat, Sun and Public Holidays: 8.30am-5pm.
Closed on Mondays except public holidays for maintenance and research.

Admission is free.

One thing that i always hold onto; wenever sometg bad happen to me, i'll nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos in times of goodness and happiness i nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos everything that happened, happens for a reason.
