It's nice place to visit. You will have a guide to explain everything. The only thing I would mention is that there are mosquitoes everywhere. So go with a full dress and anti mosquito roll on.

We recently visited this place on 18 Nov 23. This place is really awesome located near Ganpati pule in kokan. It's is surrounded with true blissful nature .. Prachin kokan gives an over all view of how the ancient kokan was. Everything is demonstrate in a very real-life way. There is always a guide given to group of visitors, and that guide explains in details about everything. It's really a must watch place to visit at a very nominal entry fee of 50/- per person. Overall it was a very good experience to be here

Best place to go with family in Ganpatipule and Ratnagiri ! Konkan heritage is well preserved and portrayed with a beautiful cave experience depicting past and present life ! Prachin Konkan village is the best place to learn about life and lifestyles 100 of years ago of our ancestors ! The guides of the village are amazing and the kind of knowledge they give will amaze you ! I love the way our guide pooja explained about each and every exhibit inside the village display and the natural forest ambience is therapeutic! I must say that the life Konkan villagers lived was smart yet simple , beautiful and elegant along with all the traditional values and cultures intact ! The festivals celebrated were pious , uniting and moreover the food was made on the most Satvic model ! I have taken many learning's and applied them since I came back it's truly a must visit with family and a true delight to self ! The restaurant inside serves authentic thali with the most delectable modaks prepared by the locals with authenticity and love ! I am thankful to Maharashtra tourism for curating such experiences and it's truly a wonder of beautiful Maharashtra ! MTDC Ganpatipule has made it easy to commute and guide us around Ratnagiri ! Thanks for lifelong memories

Though they call it Museum, it's more of a life style journey of a konkan House hold in olden times. They also showcase good collection of sea shells and some Village made toys n household items. If in Ganpatiphule, do visit the Museum, which takes 1.5 max of your time. Buy your ticket before 5.15pm.

Great experience of visiting this place. Has many trees planted which normally we don't see or seen before. A guide is provided with a charge and the conversation happens in marathi. Useful information as well as historic information is provided during the tour. Shopping inside is possible with select goods. Very well maintained and organised.

This is a must go place if you are in Ratnagiri Or Ganpati Pule. Take kids along to understanding Konkan and Indian culture. You will get a well trained guide for the tour. My kids loved it. The cave, the trees, statues and souvenir shops. After the shop my kids were remembering guides words and telling their granny that 400 years back, humans took 1.5hr hardship to get a bowl of oil. It was difficult time then. The guide speak in Hindi too. So friendly for other Indian states residents. Overall, a must visit place.

A nice initiative by the Owner of this Muesum. Detailed information of Kokan life style and culture is displayed at this venue. Well maintained place with attractive monument and sculptures which gives a value added experience. Local guide and currator explains the tour very efficiently. A highly recommended place if you are visiting Ratnagiri and Ganputipule.
