Discover Manglutan: South Coast and Rubber Cultivation

If you are considering Manglutan as a place to stay, its southern coastal location and rubber cultivation offer two specific points of reference. The Manglutan Rubber Plantation, other crops grown there, and the manual processing of rubber give the description of the area an agricultural focus. This lets you consider Manglutan geographically and in terms of its agriculture before looking for a hotel for your trip.

Location and geographical orientation

Manglutan is on the south coast of South Andaman Island, fourteen miles southwest of Port Blair. This location places the area along the island’s coast and also relates it to Port Blair. Dhanikari Stream flows near Manglutan and provides another geographical reference point. The coastal location and the stream represent different kinds of spatial information: the first describes the area’s position, while the second indicates the location of a nearby watercourse.

Rubber and other crops

The Manglutan Rubber Plantation was established in 1960 and covers 60 acres. The year describes when it was established; the area figure refers to the plantation. To collect rubber, the trees are tapped. Later, rubber is processed into sheets in a processing unit using manual rollers. This sequence distinguishes two work stages: extraction from the tree and further processing into sheets.

Coconuts and areca nuts, as well as cinnamon and cloves, are also grown in Manglutan. Alongside the plantation, the area’s crops therefore include other useful plants: nuts and spices complement rubber as different agricultural products. For travelers who also want to understand Manglutan through its agriculture, this offers several perspectives: the plantation’s area, the processing of rubber, and the other crops grown there.

The Manglutan Block

A historical forest notification describes the Manglutan Block as a compact block of forest land of about 202.34 hectares on Main South Andaman. It names Dhanikhari, Shippighat, Nayasahar, Humfreygunj, and Manglutan as its boundaries. These place names give the block a specific spatial boundary and add another geographical layer to the information about the coastal location and nearby Dhanikari Stream.

The area figures also help distinguish the different designations: the Manglutan Rubber Plantation is listed as covering 60 acres, while the Manglutan Block is about 202.34 hectares. The figures refer to two differently named units and should therefore be read as separate location details.

Find hotels for Manglutan

When choosing a destination, first consider whether Manglutan’s geographical location or its agricultural connections matter most to you. Its southern coastal location, position southwest of Port Blair, and information about cultivation and rubber processing describe different aspects of the area. Then search for hotels in Manglutan and compare the specific details on location, amenities, price, and availability for each offer. Check these details against your travel dates before booking.
