A tale of two Bukit

This is a walking trail that commences from Bukit Batok MRT and ends at Bukit Gombak MRT. It covers two popular parks in the Bukit Batok Natural Reserve.

Since it starts and ends at a MRT, there is no need to mention about how to get there. However, the trail does not start at the formal entrance to the BBNP. There is a broad walk way right beside the sign below that leads directly to the query.

Our trail starts at the carpark to the left of the broad walk. Right inside the carpark is part of the PCN that curves along Bukit Batok East Ave 6.

There is a sign board that indicate the trail that I am walking into.

As indicated on the map, the trail will end at a broad walk which leads to a compound with a hut.

Along the broad walk you an actually see a spring where water oozes up from the ground.

Since there is nothing special about going around the hut, I choose to bypass the hut instead. At the end of the path, there is a confusing junction with another signboard that is slightly further down. Turn into the right hand path instead. From here on it is all up hills.

At the end of the trail you can see a carpark. The transmission tower is on the right hand side.

Turning back into the trail, I came back to the same junction again. This time I take the left hand trail. This trail leads to the first query.

Unfortunately, I am supposed to take a set of overlapping shots to make a panoramic picture. The WikiLoc picture taking has a bug. If I take a picture then click on the camera icon to take another one instead of exiting, only the very last one is saved. Very unfortunate. The same thing happens at the next query also.

Walking out on the broad walk, There is a toilet and a children's playground plus the usual exercise gadgets.

Instead of walking right out on the broad walk, I choose to enter the trail again. the trail leads me back to the carpark.

There is a PCN that leads all the way to the Little QuiLin. All the shots were lost as mentioned earlier. The following is some that remains. The picture quality is bad because the sun is towards the camera. Should have gone there in the afternoon instead.

I did not explore inside the park. Following the PCN, I end up with Bukit Batok MRT. The total distance is about 6.5KM. However, my Endomondo Sports tracker shows almost 9KM.
