We have considerately included the difficulty level of each trail too
Nature and all its lush greenery may not be Singapore's forte. However, we do still boast several parks and reserves for those looking to be one with nature. So instead of falling prey to mind-numbing gadgets, why not put in a bit of activity into your sedentary lifestyle by lacing-up for these trails we have in Singapore? Aside from it being quite an intensive workout, trekking these trails also make for a fantastic activity to do together with your friends and family.
So here are 20 of these trails you can consider embarking on:

19. Pulau Ubin
Travel back in time to the 1960s when Singapore used to be nothing but a kampung (Malay for village). Shaped like a boomerang, this offshore island just off the north-eastern corner of Singapore used to be a thriving settlement that engaged in heavy granite mining. Despite Singapore’s inevitable modernisation, Ubin has kept its rustic beauty and simplicity of a bygone era. Trekking through the trails on the island, not only do you get to witness its rich ecosystem, you can interact with the locals there who have limited access to the current and efficient public utilities available on mainland Singapore. Don’t forget to stop by the quarry for the mesmerising granite hills and the precious, well-preserved Chek Jawa Wetlands for a complete trip.
