Southern Ridges (Singapore) Part 3 – Henderson Waves

Add comments

The next and final leg of the journey takes us through Henderson Wave into Faber Walk towards Mount Faber. The Henderson Waves is an iconic bridge which would be easily recognizable. It snakes across the Henderson Road hence the name. The Henderson Waves is 274m long and at the highest point sits at 36m above Henderson Road.

Don’t worry the path across the Henderson Waves is not wavy but straight. Part of the waves acts as shelters against the environment

Long tail Macaques having a feast

The Macaques are typically harmless and would not attack unless they can see food. So to prevent yourself from being attacked, do not carry any plastic bags or food in easy reach of the primates. Just walk passed them and do not provoke them or you be courting trouble.
