This guide is pretty accurate even tho it was posted 2 years ago. Went with my friends today 2 Sept 2023. The only part that we didn’t follow is at 3.52 min after the red metal beams near end of canal. The video shows going up on the left of canal but it is too steep now compared to the video and going forward is almost half knee high of water (didn’t rain for 2 days). So we ended up back tracking the route before the red metal beams and walk over to the other side of the rail corridor- it converges to same route on the path if u had followed the video to climb up the slope on the left at 3.52 min. Best video that I saw on hiking Clementi Forest and if u follow this video, the hike should be safe (u should not get lost) as u soak in the wonders of the nature. Thanks for the clear instructions and video! ❤
Informative, well done video with good shots. Someone shared with me, that showcased drain, that it is a functional drain, which means when a nearby water bodies reaches its peak, that drain will be the waterway to channel it away to a lower water bodies. It is uncertain if it channels naturally or controlled. By controlled, it means they open up the ‘door’ once the water bodies is overflowing and that could spell troubles for anyone to be in when a sudden gush of water rushes in. Scary. The information above is not certain or official. But I do know the NParks strongly advised to stay clear of the drain for safety reasons. I liked the bits about the unofficial trail. In the spirit of adventure, go and explore but do caution that there are some forested areas with clear signs that prohibits any trespassing. Knew someone got fined for that. Stating ignorance and playing dumb did not work for him. Singapore is still a fine city, after all. Clementi Forest, may you stay long as you are, lush and green.
Thank you for this detailed guide! Followed it yesterday and it was great! The route through the canal was wet like the video and just want to remind others that if you want, should bring like boots or slippers. The rest was great too! Flat and easy trek, just muddy and slippery. Not too tiring.
Oh mine!, I love seeing Nature the way it was created,and yes being in forest is surely gonna get mosquitoes feasting on you,so cover up properly. Nice video and I enjoyed watching this.
@@thetravelintern yes, especially the "red beam". It looks like a part of the metal beam system for a brigde from the 20th century. I have no idea why it lies there though
I saw your video yesterday and went there today. Thank you! I checked many times with your video when I got lost there. And we've finished it with mud all over.
Wish I found this guide earlier. I went here with my friend during Monsoon Season. We had to tug each other out with ropes. Also didn’t find the main path, so we waded through the mud until we realised.
Wasn't able to go down the red metal beams cos @ 2:58 they put up a new railings that covers the entrance so that's very sad. Other than that, one of the most enjoyable trek!
Good job but not advisable to walk along drain tunnel and i think this is a monsoon drain to collect rain water, it will built up very fast when it starts raining. In your statement on 6.00min you stated ..try to stay on the unofficial path as much as possible. ?
Thanks for pointing that out! The hike isn't an official hiking, but there are visible paths that people have taken! So we called then unofficial paths :)
bro how did you get your drone up in the air. Mine literally lost connection the moment i fly & there were so many interference. Thought i could get some sick shots but nahh T.T
You can try flying your drone from our suggested start point of the clementi forest! it's pretty clear of trees so your drone will have a good line of sight to your controller :)
Yes it is! You can start your hike from the Red Metal Beams portion of the video! They are located along the Green Corridor. The video from there will lead you to the Maju forest :)
@@spencerng3919 I don't think Valley is possible. There is a small entrance just in front of the valley towards the direction of bukit timah, that is where the red beams are. I started there with my daughter. Its not easy to navigate. Super muddy and not suitable for children
I think there should be a warning that young children below 12 really should not go. Yesterday I brought my 10 year old daughter and it was so muddy and she got stuck and very hard to move. It was getting dark and finally I had to call for help. So not advisable to bring children.
@@thetravelintern it's OK. Just saying there should be general warning that kids under 12 probably should not go. We been to other forested area like Thomson nature park, Mount faber, labrador Park etc and this is probably most difficult. Main issue is too many big tree obstacles and too muddy and slippery even on sunny days.
Thank you for this! My friend and I trekked the Clementi Forest today and we followed your guide. It's accurate, clear and very useful!
Hope you had fun on your hike!

I needed this 3 weeks ago when I got lost…
Thank you for this. We followed this exact route and yes it was so scenic!!!
Hope you managed to take a couple of nice photos too!
One of the best guide. Concise, clear instructions. Two thumbs up.
Thank you very much :) hope you've had a chance to explore it too!

Hope you got some amazing Instagram picture along the way too!
Yes I did! Im inspired with your photography skills as well!
Nice view and fresh with forest 🌳
Clementi, another place to see for my next trip asap!
Thank you for your guide ,definitely I have to do it .
That mud ASMR is so EUGHH but the shots are so DOPE!

Covering up definitely helps, also try environmentally friendly insect repellent! Glad you enjoyed it :)
We got a bit lost on the way and this video was a lifesaver!
That's awesome! Let us get lost so you don't have to! Hope you had a blast!
So much info for one of the most underatted trail in Singapore. Great work guys.
Thanks! Clementi Forest really is such a gem right?
@@thetravelintern yes, especially the "red beam". It looks like a part of the metal beam system for a brigde from the 20th century. I have no idea why it lies there though
Thanks for the video and the awesome footage!! 👊🏻
Glad you love it! :D
A very very good video .. specially for the first timer here. Really enjoy the hike over here, took good pictures too . Thks 👍🏽

BEST GUIDE TO CLEMENTI FOREST
Wow😮 inside forest have a lots
Amazing scenery and attractive forest ❤
Excellent video
Spectacular views
Thank you so much for watching our video!
13th March 2022, thank you for sharing, hopefully I can get to join you guys in your next venture hike. Cheerio, stay safe, healthy and happy.
Singapore surprises me with how many green spaces she actually has
it's very little actually, if you stay here long enough. And Clementi Forest is designated to be removed for urban development.
Awesome guys! Well done! Most informative and best video done on clementi forest so far! Thank you and keep it up!
Thank you very much :)) Hope you've had time to go down too!
eh is actually useful!! haven't been to the red beams yet
Time to give it another visit!
Wah really must explore before its gone!
WOW!! BEAUITFUL PICTURE
Thanks Freddie!! It's even more beautiful in real life!
Thanks for sharing 🌈
I saw your video yesterday and went there today. Thank you! I checked many times with your video when I got lost there. And we've finished it with mud all over.
Glad it helped!! Make sure to take some cool photos and tag us on instagram if you're on it! Cheers!
Thanks so much for this wonderful video. Clear and concise. Good job!
Hope you had fun adventuring around :)
Thank you 😀
You're welcome 😊

Glad it was helpful! :))
Best Clementi forest video ever!
Thankyou!!
why didnt this guide come earlier?! didn't know about the red beams hahahha really awesome one
A perfect excuse to visit it again now ;)
One should have guts to make such experiments.. Kudos...
I am so going there. Thank you.
Make sure to take lots of photos :) It's a beautiful place
Wonderful 💚
I'm gonna try it. It's nice
Full of thrilling experiences 😀
I might be able to encounter some aliens there la!
Very impressive hiking track. I didn't know Singapore has another jewel like this! Why go hiking overseas? We can do it at Singapore!!
Yes! You can hike in Singapore too!
Soon!!! Thanks for the vid. Will need this soon! Nice vid ... Wat camera did u use? Love it. ❤️❤️❤️
We used a couple of Sony cameras! But the main one would be the Sony A7iii!
Watch your step. There are left behind WW2 mortar bombs in there. Found one this year and it was taken away by the SAF.
Best route!
Hi just a question. Is there anywhere you can wash off the mud after the hike?
Very cool vid dude!
Thankyou!
Great guide
Thankyou!
The red beams are just there to hold the retaining walls up.
Thanks for letting us know!
so beautiful :')
Clementi ave 6 along pie entrance got a kampung house
Wasn't able to go down the red metal beams cos @ 2:58 they put up a new railings that covers the entrance so that's very sad. Other than that, one of the most enjoyable trek!
Just went there yesterday(Feb 2023). Not an issue for us!
Update your video cos the red beams path is now closed
Next the Dover one
We're working our way through all the hiking trails in Singapore! We'll add it to the list!
@@thetravelintern thank you
Thanks for the video. May I know what is the name of the bus stop at the end of the railway tunnel?
The closest bus stops to the end would be Logishub @ Clementi or opp Logishub!
Nice
Thankyou!
is it possible to get lost during the hike ?
The Singaporean Amazon
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!

Thanks for pointing that out! The hike isn't an official hiking, but there are visible paths that people have taken! So we called then unofficial paths :)
Where can i park my vehicle ,maybe i should park nearby the end of the route,where is the exact location you ended the route?
You'll end your hike at sunset heights! There're a few HDB estates around the end point, so you can park your car there!
bro how did you get your drone up in the air. Mine literally lost connection the moment i fly & there were so many interference. Thought i could get some sick shots but nahh T.T
You can try flying your drone from our suggested start point of the clementi forest! it's pretty clear of trees so your drone will have a good line of sight to your controller :)
6:30 any idea for the name of the bus stop or the name of main road?
Hi Vincent! Which bus stop are you referring to?
fly drone in this area is"t ok?
yep! Before you fly anywhere, always check the local sources as to whether you are allowed to fly.
Guys please use long pants preferably thick one...becareful of snakes..usually you will encounter some pythons...and sharp twigs too!!
Great tip!!
Hi is it possible to enter clementi forest via the viewpoint from green corridor? And if so - can that entry lead us to maju forest?
Yes it is! You can start your hike from the Red Metal Beams portion of the video! They are located along the Green Corridor. The video from there will lead you to the Maju forest :)
@@thetravelintern ah cool thanks! Can we also get there by walking through the valley?
@@spencerng3919 By valley, are you talking about the King Albert Park valley?
@@spencerng3919 I don't think Valley is possible.
There is a small entrance just in front of the valley towards the direction of bukit timah, that is where the red beams are.
I started there with my daughter. Its not easy to navigate. Super muddy and not suitable for children
Ah ok. U referring to the clementi forest valley from green corridor right? Cool thanks
2/10 Tomb Raider Impression 3:10
This trail still exist today? haha
Gara gara bbc gw nonton ini 😮
Are there ghost here?
Hopefully not! 😮
Treasure this oasis before the bulldozers come and wreck this place in the name of development
Super agree! 😢
are there snakes?
We haven't experienced any nor heard any dangerous encounters of snakes! But there's probably wildlife in the untouched areas, so stay safe!
I think there should be a warning that young children below 12 really should not go.
Yesterday I brought my 10 year old daughter and it was so muddy and she got stuck and very hard to move. It was getting dark and finally I had to call for help.
So not advisable to bring children.
We're really sorry to hear about that! Hope she's ok now!

R u sure this is Singapore 😂 or Amazons 😝
Sometimes we get confused too xD
*bush, not forest. Stroll, not hike
