Wikipedia's article on Aritar mentions an evergreen nursery and museum at Rhenock Bazar, privately owned, with driftwood collections and botanical varieties. We have not verified current opening hours or conditions.
Ask at a shop in the bazaar whether it is open before making a special trip. Visit as a guest, respect the owner's rules about photography and do not touch exhibits.
A small donation or a plant purchase is a polite thank-you. Do not take cuttings or driftwood.
