Clementi Forest
Description
Clementi Forest is a very dense forest & situated around the Clementi Estate which is right beside the stretch along Clementi Road. Right beside the forest is the recently developed rail corridor and the Old Bukit Timah Railway station.
Tips
How to reach there:
Option 1:
- Enter the Rail corridor from anywhere convenient to you (such as near the Beauty world/King Albert Park). Pick the starting point from the rail corridor depending upon your stamina for walking. We suggest you enter the rail corridor from either of these locations so that you can reach the clementi forest in time to catch the early morning fog.
Option 2:
- Get down at the bus stop opposite to Maju Camp. Take steps just behind the bus stop down to the train tunnel. Follow the track in the direction away from the bus stop.
Option 3:
- Enter near the junction of Sunset way and clementi St 14 (blue pin below) follow the train tracks and continue towards the clement road into the from Maju Forest. Continue through the tunnel to enter the Clementi forest. Continue towards the rail corridor

Any other tips -
Best to go there just before the sunset (around 645 am) so that you can catch the beautiful sight of fog over the dense forest. It’s truly blissful and amazing to have it in the heart of a concrete jungle city full of skyscrapers.
Check the weather forecast. Avoid this trail for a few days after it rains or during the rain as it can become slippery and unsafe.
For your safety wear shoes with good grip (not too old and worn out) as the trail has patches of muddy sections and spiky plants.
Better to wear full length trousers too as at some places the grass is too dense upto knee level.
Other Special Info -
This is not a very well known trail. You can impress your friends, family and colleagues by bringing them to this trail.
The forest is muddy & slippery.
Must wear long trousers, long sleeve costumes & good hiking shoes.
