THE EXPERIENCE
Mandai T15 Bike Trail a.k.a the Gangsa Trail
Mandai’s forested landscapes are now within reach on the Mandai T15 Trail — a ride through emerging nature corridors and wildlife-rich areas. This self-guided route suits riders who want a deeper nature immersion with the possibility of spotting native fauna.
Located inside the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, this less-trafficked trail stretches 7.1km and is relatively flat, which makes it an easy spot to get your daily green fix without going full-on Into The Wild.
Track 15 runs between Mandai Road in the north and runs into the Chestnut North loop of the Chestnut Nature Park MTB trails. It is a beginner-friendly route with wide turns, some fun downhill sections, a few intense but short climbs, and a mix of rolling single and double track. It is a mixed-use trail, so be careful of hikers. A helmet is provided, and there are some rocky sections that may cause beginners to desire safety equipment like knee or elbow pads which you may want to bring and use.
