Singapore – the Lion City and the Garden City as it is affectionately known, is a splendid cosmopolitan locale with a vibrant array of sights to enthral and entrance the discerning traveller. Exclusive accommodation is not hard to find in the city, and if you’re seeking some elegant serviced apartments on Orchard Road Singapore look no further than the Somerset Orchard Singapore. This well-appointed property features the perfect set of apartments in Singapore to host a holiday retreat or corporate trip. When you’re a little weary from the en-mass shopping expeditions or business meetings filling up the calendar, take some time out in nature in one of Singapore’s most serene natural surroundings, the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Although small at 400 acres, it is a fine example of Singapore’ rich biodiversity, and is one of the last remaining traces of the rich tropical rainforest that used to dominate the area prior to the arrival of Raffles with the intent to colonise, and this led to it being named an ASEAN Heritage Park in 2011. The nature reserve boasts over 840 exquisite specimens of flowering plants and over 500 exotic fauna species, which makes it an ideal hiking haven for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. The Dairy Farm Quarry also presents some wonderful opportunities for rock-climbing and abseiling, as well as mountain-biking through the reserve. Visit Bukit Timach Nature Reseve for a true Singaporean forest adventure!
