Kulathupuzha Forest Museum is a nature interpretation centre located in Kulathupuzha, Kollam district, Kerala, offering visitors insights into the rich biodiversity, forest ecosystems, and conservation efforts of the Western Ghats region. Managed by the Kerala Forest Department, the museum serves as an educational space that highlights the importance of forest protection, wildlife conservation, and sustainable interaction with nature. The exhibits provide information about native plant species, forest resources, wildlife, ecological systems, and the unique natural heritage of the Kulathupuzha forest landscape, making it a valuable learning destination for students, nature enthusiasts, families, and travellers interested in Kerala’s environmental diversity. Located near the scenic forest areas of Kulathupuzha, the museum is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Western Ghats and serves as a gateway for visitors exploring nearby attractions such as Kulathupuzha Sastha Temple, Thenmala Eco Tourism, and the Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary. The region is known for its evergreen forests, streams, rivers, and diverse flora and fauna, including several endemic species found in the Western Ghats.
