★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice museum named Prachin Konkan. With unique seashell variety, nice traditional food at restaurant Junaka bhakhar (झुणका भाकर), Thalipith (थालीपीठ). Guides are really good and thorough in their knowledge when they explain the old tradition of Konkan. Worth a visit for sure. Ticket rate are cheap, just 40 Rs per person. To take photos just pay 20 extra for photo ticket. Takes about 2 to 3 hours of time for single visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At a distance of 600 m from Ganpatipule Bus Stand and 1 km from Ganpatipule Beach, Prachin Kokan is an open air museum situated in Ganpatipule. It is one of the top places to visit in Ganpatipule.
Spread over an area of 3 acres, the museum has several exhibits depicting the traditional Konkan way of life. The museum was constructed in 2004 by Vaibhav Sardesai who succeeded in not only providing interesting information about Konkan to the tourists but also employment opportunities for the locals. One can get the glimpses of local rural life including the local deities, the lifestyle, barter trade of the olden days, various professions of the people, etc. inside the museum.
The museum showcases the ingenuity of the Kokan with sculptures of the Maratha hero Shivaji maharaj depicting historical moments, and models of the amazing sea forts in the Kokan region. Prachin Konkan has a counter for exhibiting the Sawantwadi wooden handicrafts, the first of its kind in Ganpatipule, where tourists can purchase memorabilia and souvenirs. In Prachin Kokan there is also a Nakshatra Baug - a garden of trees for each sun sign.
Set in a lush green locale the museum is also a paradise for bird watchers. The trees in the museum are home to many species of birds of the region. The museum also attempts to introduce the birds and fish found in this region by way of a small exhibition.
Entry Fee: Rs. 40 per person with guide.
Timings: 8.30 AM to 6 PM
Date of experience: 1st Jan 2021

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the MUST visit places in Ganpatipule / Ratnagiri.
This place is all about how the people lived in Konkan prior to all the modernization came in. It's not just a mannequins show but it's an experience that they take you through. They have a very nominal fees but their guide takes you through the whole park and they narrate you while going through it. The narration is really informative and you feel like you belong to that place when they take you throug the experience.
They have handicraft shop inside which has nice wooden hand-crafted things and wooden toys. I never thought that I would find a wooden tic-tac-toe in there and it is really fun to play with it. And everything is at a very reasonable cost, so you can buy souveniers for your family and friends here.
The restaurant inside is really aweome and it is built like a Machan and gives that authentic Forest-Meal experience. It is a veg restaurant but their food is really nice. Especially UKADICHE MODAK was awesome and is a MUST TRY.
Not only that, they also have an exhibition of various sea-shells and it is very interesting too. Do visit this place when in Ratnagiri/Ganpatipule.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well maintained Open air museum of a village lifestyle.
They have shown every contributor of a village ecosystem in a natural way.
You keep walking on a narrow path where the guides keep narrating the role and responsibilities of the person in the village.
Loved the guidance provided by the associates.
Sea museum is worth visiting. You see various life forms there.
