It’s all about tapping the explorer inside you!
• Enjoy off-leash time: Leopard Trail is an off-leash area where your dog can unleash their zoomie potential and sniff around as much as they like. We do however suggest all parents keep a close lookout for their dog’s safety whenever off-leash.
• Dog-friendly cafes: Located in Leopard Trail are a variety of dog-friendly cafes like the Dogs & Ducks cafe, and Throttle Shrottle amongst others that offers a cosy atmosphere and delicious refreshments. After a trek, these havens provide the perfect respite, allowing you to savour a well-deserved treat in the company of your dog.
• Maggi and Chai Points: Along the Leopard Trail, you'll find local vendors offering hot cups of chai (tea) and freshly made Maggi noodles. These points are perfect for taking a break and enjoying a quick, comforting meal. The combination of steaming chai and savoury Maggi noodles is a favourite among hikers, providing a warm, energizing treat during your adventure.
