Usually you feel that you are in a forest when you are in a rubber plantation.<br /><br />Linnea,<br />Glad you like this view :) Yes, driving thro' a rubber estate is very enjoyable.<br /><br />KC,<br />Yes, I heard that there are lot of rubber estates in Malaysia. Thabnks for dropping by and for your comments.<br /><br />Anastasia,<br />I recently managed to see step by step process of rubber sheet preparation inside a small rubber plantation. Quite interesting.<br /><br />Rajesh,<br />Thanks very much :)<br /><br />Thanks all for your wonderful comments!Kirigalpoththahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173002776907882231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-49909983460190631492010-09-30T13:53:33.845+05:302010-09-30T13:53:33.845+05:30Betsy,

I shall show you more into this area on another day :)<br /><br />Rainfield,<br />Yes all were bowing at us too :D<br /><br />Silent Moments,<br />Sometimes, sceneries are better when taken with people :)<br /><br />Magerata,<br />This is the closest road to reach Rathnapura if you live South of Colombo. <br /><br />Me-shak,<br />Yes, that is what I like when travelling across rubber estates. Also it is quite cool inside.<br /><br />Chavie,<br />Yes, I remember that stretch. Always rubber estates give similar views. There is an even better stretch from Urapola to Ruwanwella road. Must take a photo when I go there next.<br /><br />Frieda,<br />Thanks very much!<br /><br />Thanks all for your wonderful comments!Kirigalpoththahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173002776907882231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-1513002990291861492010-09-30T13:46:26.065+05:302010-09-30T13:46:26.065+05:30Wonderfully shaded route.Wonderfully shaded route.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325697671806865458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933499499768796683.post-37977338335185597382010-09-30T00:21:17.740+05:302010-09-30T00:21:17.740+05:30This is lovely.
