Teak Museum Nilambur Kerala India

The Nilambur Teak Museum in Malappuram, Kerala, is the world’s first museum dedicated to teak and its legacy. Established in 1995 by the Kerala Forest Research Institute, it stands close to Conolly’s Plot—believed to be the oldest teak plantation in the world, dating back to the 1840s. Spanning two floors, the museum presents a fascinating blend of history, culture, and science. Visitors can explore the extensive root system of a 55-year-old teak tree, view centuries-old teak stumps, admire life-size images of famous teak specimens, such as the legendary Kannimara Teak, and appreciate traditional artifacts crafted from this prized wood. The upper floor focuses more on the scientific side, showcasing teak’s cultivation, its role in forestry, and even portraits of the pioneers who shaped its history.

Beyond the exhibits, the museum also features a nature trail where visitors can walk through lush greenery and discover native trees, medicinal plants, and even spot birds and butterflies. It’s not just about learning—it’s an experience that blends education with the beauty of Kerala’s forests. With affordable entry fees and easy access from Nilambur town, this museum is a must-visit for anyone curious about Kerala’s natural heritage, forestry, or simply looking for a unique and peaceful outing in the lap of nature.
