The Mulu Pinnacles are a series of tall, razor-sharp limestone spires in Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia, famous for their spectacular views and challenging climb. The trek is a 3-day, 2-night trip that includes a 2 nights overnight stay at Camp 5, with a 2.4 km near-vertical climb to the vie

Kashmir Great Lakes, a place known as paradise on Earth. It is one of the most beautiful treks in India, where we were treated to a panorama of rugged mountains, rolling meadows, and blue alpine lakes every day. The journey takes 6 days of trekking to complete with a total distance of around 72 km.

I have always wanted to visit an abandoned cinema. There's just something about seeing a huge room with hundreds of empty seats left quietly decaying. A room that was once filled with throngs of movie goers. And with on-demand movie platforms like Netflix taking over the entertainment industry,

I was intrigued when I found out about an abandoned mini golf course. At the point in the time, Holey Moley was a popular indoor mini golf course, featuring interesting themed set-ups, some of which even glowed in the dark. So I was quite curious to explore this outdoor mini golf course. >>&g

I vaguely remember going to the reptile park as a kid, amused and frightened at the same time of the crocodiles kept in the enclosures. A visit to the now abandoned Jurong Reptile Park brought back those memories, although the place has now been reduced to a mere shadow of its past. >>>

This was one of the first urbex locations I explored with my friend more than 3 years ago. I chanced upon a photo of torii gates in ruins in the middle of the forest and was intrigued. I did some research and found out that it was an abandoned park hidden on a small unassuming hill in Bukit Batok.

Labrador park is a popular park in Singapore, and also the site of the former Labrador Battery hence there are many old ruins that are still hidden around the park. As a kid, I remember playing at a playground in the park with a machine gun post, which seemed so out of place in a children's pla

I came across a photo of an old flooded theatre and an old man stood in the centre as if he was diligently cleaning. Upon closer inspective, I realised the old man was a mannequin. For a long time, I couldn't get this haunting image out of my mind. I tried asking the owner of the photo for more

When I heard about the organised tour to Fort Connaught I knew I had to join. The ticket sales was actually quite competitive and I only managed to snatch 1 ticket, so unfortunately I couldn't bring my friend along. Although I generally do not like to join organised tours, due to the many restr

There are actually countless bunkers in Sembawang, however most of them have since been sealed up, and reduced to nothing but a mound in the ground. I had always wanted to explore one of these bunkers so when I learnt that there were some bunkers or more specifically air raid shelters that may stil

After seeing some photos of an abandoned military outpost with an iconic '1936 BK.4' plastered on one of its walls, I did some digging and found that it was somewhere all too familiar to me - my old school. All these years I never knew there was a place like this right under my nose. And so

I had always been curious about a magazine storage in the north, and after doing a bit of research, I made plans to head down to explore. It was actually opened to the public in 2015 as part of a tour organised by National Heritage Board. Little did I know it was no longer easy to access due to the

During the pandemic, the Clementi Forest started to gain popularity. The Clementi Forest is where the old Jurong Railway branches out from the main line (currently the Green Corridor), but I have always wondered where the track continues to and what else is there. So I decided to trace the Jurong R

Just close by the lively neighbourhood of Queenstown, and a short walk into an unassuming forested area sandwiched between HDB blocks, lies 3 hidden bunkers. The most iconic would be the first of the 3 bunkers, completely overgrown with tree roots it somehow reminds me of Angkor Wat. >>>

Yes, you heard that right, it's a 'condom lorry'. While doing research for another location, I had chanced upon a curious location tagged 'condom lorry'. Was it a lorry filled with condoms, or a lorry shaped like a condom? One day, I decided to get to the bottom of the mystery,

Have you ever wondered where the Chinese period dramas from our childhood were filmed? A film site in Tuas was built to replicate Singapore in the 1950s and has been used for many local films shown on Mediacorp. I had initially imagined that a film set would comprise of cheap facades, but was surpr

Would you believe that there are beautiful hiking trails in a cemetery? Bukit Brown Cemetery is more than just a cemetery, and has many hidden gems waiting to be discovered if you are willing to take the back trails. Think of big majestic trees covered in veins that resemble the forest in the movie

It was during the COVID period when I first started to do urbex (urban exploration). During the lockdown period, the nature parks were all jammed packed with people. In a bid to avoid the crowds, I started looking for more off-trail hikes. Unknown to many, there are actually plenty of forgotten his

Teapot Mountain is a mountain near the popular Jiufen in Taiwan. This trail takes you up and past the Teapot Mountain (无耳茶壶山) to a lesser known trail that connects to Banping Shan (半屏山). It was my 2nd trip there when I discovered the 2nd trail. The most exciting part of this hike was the steep clim
