Government Sandalwood Oil Factory srkaari gNdhdennnne kaarkhaane - Oil refinery in Mysuru - Mysuru, India

Located near Ashokapuram, this govt sandalwood oil factory is NOT OPEN for visitors since outbreak of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the same is not updated anywhere and the localites are also not aware about the fact. However, the security guard in the gate of the factory was very nice and helpful to show us the way to the Govt sandalwood product outlet which is just in proximity. The outlet is small but has good collection of sandalwood soaps, powders, incense sticks, hygiene products and camphor cubes. We also got to know not to buy sandalwood oil from any unauthorised places as the oil is very expensive and chances of getting cheated is more. Overall verdict- definitely recommended for the visit to the outlet but please check about the status of the factory prior you plan.

(review is of 23-02-2023) The factory is still closed after COVID-19 for the general public and there are very few products in the outlet located near the factory.

It's a historical place..though there is very less to see still it's a nice place..its a part of mysore heritage.. Guide explains everything in details..there is ample scope for developing this vast area..there are many sandal wood trees in the premises.. they have their outlet near factory which sells all items of Mysore sandal soap factory..

Still closed to visitors as on 25 May 2023. The security staff on duty was polite though. The sales outlet on the main road is functioning but it didn't have much stuff other than soaps.

Sandalwood oil factory at Mysore. Can visit with permission from factory authorities. Parking available on outside. Entry is restricted. The factory guides helps you during the visit. Here you can spend 15 - 20 minutes.

Informative, worth to see natural sandalwood distillation process which has been started over 200years back. Also you can buy their original products from near by store.

Staff is so rude to outsiders. Especially the manager. Not at all helpful. Asked so many times about the products, but he was not willing to show it at all. And so reluctant. #MysoreSandal needs to look into it as it gives bad impression about Mysore Sandal, not that particular person. I visited today (19th Apr) after lunchtime.

It's a sandal oil factory where they will extract sandal oil from the sandal tree. It's a famous oil company and also from oil they manufacture the sandal soap and detergents .. it's called KSDL. It's a government organisations. Any one can visit the company
