Description
We operate a Rubber plantation 45km north of Mangalore in the bio-diverse western ghats.
Visitors can learn rubber tapping, coagulation, rolling and smoking of finished rubber sheets. We do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides and still aim to produce the highest yields of rubber latex in the region under these conditions.
The estate is set on rolling hills affording beautiful views and picnic spots. There are a variety of birds, wild animals and hiking/trekking paths in the area.
Workawayer logistics at the estate are often handled by my colleagues Sulo or Puru on my behalf.
Tks and looking fwd to your interest/enquiry
