Discover more about Madhupur Rubber Garden

Madhupur Rubber Garden, also known as Pirgacha Rubber Plantation, is located in the Tangail district, not far from Dhaka. Established in 1986, this expansive plantation spans 3,000 acres and houses over 154,000 rubber trees. The garden is a testament to Bangladesh's rubber production and dedication to preserving its natural environment. The garden's landscape is characterized by perfectly aligned rows of tall rubber trees, creating a soothing green canopy. The best time to visit is during the monsoon season when the rain breathes life into every leaf, transforming the garden into a sea of deep green. Alternatively, a winter visit offers a different kind of charm, with the trees shedding their leaves to reveal a bare and minimalist landscape. Walking under the moonlight among the endless rows of trees is a magical experience, making the plantation look like a fairyland. One of the highlights of a visit to the Madhupur Rubber Garden is the opportunity to witness the rubber tapping process and learn how latex is processed into rubber sheets. A factory within the plantation showcases the entire process, providing a unique and educational experience. Visitors can also interact with the indigenous Garo community, who live within the garden, preserving their traditional way of life. The plantation's location near the Modhupur Garh forest adds another layer of excitement. Visitors can spot wildlife, especially monkeys, but it is advisable to inform the local authorities before venturing into the deeper forest areas for safety. While many might associate rubber cultivation with Europe or the Americas, the journey of rubber farming in Bangladesh began under British colonial rule in the early 20th century. The forest department initially planted rubber trees experimentally in Tangail and Chattogram in 1952, which eventually led to the creation of commercial plantations across regions such as Sylhet, Bandarban, Khagrachari, and Madhupur.
