Singapore: The North

Submitted by Rebecca Beswick on the 2022 spring semester exchange program with the National University of Singapore…

Singapore is located near the equator, where it is hot and humid all year round, leading to tropic conditions and allowing for jungle flora and fauna to flourish. While most of the country is taken over by city and high-rises, the northern part still has jungle around many reservoirs with several hiking trails to enjoy. There are many wild animals of interest to see on a hike, from monkeys, water monitor lizards, wild chickens, and even boars.
