The walkway is a free-standing suspension bridge spanning Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang, the two highest points in MacRitchie.
From the NParks website: "The TreeTop Walk is accessible from MacRitchie Reservoir Park via MacRitchie Nature Trail (indicated as Route 3 on map) or from Venus Drive, off Upper Thomson Road.
The distance to the entrance of the TreeTop Walk is approximately 4.5 km (1.5 - 2 hour walk) from the reservoir park and 2.5 km (45 mins - 1 hr walk) from the carpark at Venus Drive. Therefore, a round trip including the TreeTop Walk is about 7 to 10 km (3-5 hours depending on your walking pace)."
There will be a one-way traffic system on the Tree Top Walk. That is, visitors can only enter from the Bukit Peirce entrance (via Peirce Track). Walking towards Bukit Kalang, visitors will exit along the Petaling Trail.
This system is to allow visitors a more enjoyable visit. The walkway is narrow and the number of people that can be on the walkway at the same time is limited to 30 persons. NParks rangers will also on hand at the site to assist visitors.
More FAQs about the Walk on the NParks website: What can we see up there? Are there any resting stops along the 11km-route?
As for any outdoor trip, it is important to be well prepared for an enjoyable outing. See Route to treetop walk enjoyable for the prepared Streets 16 Nov 04
