A beautiful museum in natural environment describing konkani culture and flora. Nice place to visit with family.
A different tourist spot. This place exhibits and describes ancient konkan culture and heritage. They have a small botanical garden showing flora of konkan. It takes sbout 45 mins- 1 hr to cover this place. The shell museum is good and one can also enjoy cold drinks at their small eatery.

A must place to visit
We went Prachin Konkan Museum during our visit to Ganpatipule in the month of March. Weather was a bit hot but easily manageable (also has some good Hapus mango at a reasonable rate from the market by that time). We spend about 2 hrs. here. Entry is paid and a guided tour is compulsory. If you are taking a dedicate guide, they will charge INR 50/- (for your entire group irrespective number of members in the group) or you can wait for sometime to get a free guide (once they get the minimum number (which I really didn't ask) of visitors, they will assign one guide to the group). We opted for a private guide who took us through the entire museum. This museum is basically showcasing the original Konkan of about 500 years age (how the original Konkan was, how the people were living, their lifestyle, working etc.). After taking the entire tour, I personally feel that they have done really good thing by making guided tour mandatory. The guide explains the things in such a manner which makes your visit worth. At the end of the tour (at the time of start of exit), they have a shop from where you can buy peals and shells. They also have a free guided tour to their shell collection by a separate guide (taking pictures and touching the shells are not allowed). They also have a restaurant inside but since we went there soon after having our breakfast, we didn't have anything. A must visit place while going to Ganpatipule

Prachin Konkan
Pranchin Konkan is at the distance of 1Km from Ganpatipule Temple besides Magic Garden. A large area is decorated with various sculptures and designs. A Guided tour in the museum will help you to understand prachin/Old Konkan culture and its religious background. Fare to visit this area is just 40/- per person extra amount for taking photos and videos. The collection of shells with various size and shape is a nice attraction for visitors. Overall an excellent place to spend quality time to know rich culture of konkani people.
