Prachin Konkan



You reach Ganpatipule to see numerous signboards around pointing to ek anokhe (a unique) museum called the Prahin Konkan. Just a km away, this place is a haven to the ancient cultural glimpses of the Konkan. It is an open air museum and the walk in the thick woods starts with the history of Konkan and Lord Parshuram whose statue has been installed here. You get the glimpses of local rural life inlcuding the local deities, the lifestyle, barter trade of the olden days, various professions of the people, etc. A place definitely worth a visit when you are at Ratnagiri / Ganpatipule








Reaching here :
From Ratnagiri take a bus to Ganpatipule which is 35 km away. From here follow the signboard directions to walk up to this place. One can hire an autorikshaw for this 2 km ride. However the walk is more enjoyable.
