If you haven’t recently, we have something in store for you. Kerala has now launched a biodiversity museum, the first of its kind in India. That too, in a boathouse! What could be more unique than that? When God’s Own Country is beckoning you closer, you don’t say no. Just pack your bags after reading up this article and come visit, because we can easily guarantee that you won’t be seeing anything like this in your lifetime.

The biodiversity museum has been constructed in the Vallakadavu Boathouse in Trivandrum and the boathouse dates back to the 19th century. The inauguration was on June 5, 2018 and since then, visitors can’t seem to stop flocking to check out this single wonder in the country. Though the inauguration was in 2018, the work on the project began all the way back in 2013 after the proposal for the project.

The project was an initiative of the Kerala State Biodiversity Board (KSSB) accompanied by the Kerala State Coastal Area Development Corporation, the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment, and the Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (Keltron).
