There are strict regulations on the chopping down of sandalwood trees and hence the factory might sometimes be un-operational, but it is definitely worth the visit. The factory is largely industrialised with boilers, condensers, vats and preservation rooms though the air is dense with the aroma of sandalwood. A gift shop in the factory area offers a wide range of products made with the oil; including soaps, incense sticks, cosmetics and perfumes.
