Can I visit Rubber Plantations in Kerala?

One can visit rubber plantations in Kerala, which are mostly private holdings.

Besides, the family in charge will be more flexible in introducing visitors to the many aspects of plantation like cultivation, caring, the tapping of trees for latex and the by-products of latex.

For making such a visit possible, one may have to get in touch with a person or agency with some good reputation or with some government accreditation. One can make use of the time in the plantations even for research and study purposes, apart from a peripheral interest in the subject.
