In the green haven of Nilambur, where tales of the past are woven in teak, we come across the magnificent Nedumkayam Rainforest, a jewel that we are only now beginning to truly understand. The Nilambur forests are also known for their unique dense rain forests, tribal settlements, waterfalls and the world's first Teak Museum.

The oldest teak plantation in the world, the Conolly's Plot, named after H. V. Conolly, the British Malabar district collector is another attraction in Nilambur. Kannimara, the oldest teak tree in the world is located inside this plantation.

Teak Museum at Nilambur, situated on the campus of Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI) houses the treasures of historical, aesthetic and scientific aspects of teak.
