Start on Mount Faber

The hill overlooks the harbour and Sentosa. The mapped walk connects the hills without a cable-car journey

Cross Henderson Waves

The bridge passes over Henderson Road. Wooden ribs form its wave-shaped shell; stop in widened sections while keeping the path clear

Finish on Telok Blangah Hill

After the bridge, continue uphill into Telok Blangah Hill Park. NParks has published a Forest Walk closure notice following a slope failure; that section is excluded from this track
