Janapada Loka

One can know about the different cultures and tribal types available in Karnataka (including the migrated culture). They have some historical and cultural collections from around KN. Kids will surely love this place. Some crafts and toys shops are present at this location which you can try. The location has facility for parking and also washrooms as you enter. Entry for adult is 100 rupees when I'm writing this review.

If you are travelling between Bangalore and Mysore then I would suggest go by Channapatna route as there a few good places that you can visit, like this one and also Aprameya Krishna temple, Malur lake near the temple and also Sri Kengal Anjaneya Swamy. This location also has a small forest trial and it is good.
Kamat hotel is just adjacent to this as you can stop by with your family to enjoy the ambience.

It is an amazing experience in janapada loka and I like the most please everyone visit to know about Karnataka and culture
Way of living in 19 century and before that
Thank you

A beautiful place to spend some quality time. We get to know about old history and types of houses, people, communities, kids will enjoy.

The place was good for a one day trip from Bengaluru. Your can easily find the place from the highway. They take 100 rs for ticket. I found the sculptures really astonishing. They look so real that you will really be amazed. Must see the dog sculptures. There was a washroom and drinking water facility available. Adding so many photos and videos.

This has been my favorite since this started.cant be a pace better than this to taste local cuisine

The cultural centre was informative and could connect how people in the past lived.different folk arts of Karnataka were depicted. The statues are so real.

It's the worst place. My suggestion is don't go to visit this place. Nothing is there to visit and they are charging 100 rs per person. Waste of time and money.

Amazing place to explore and visit with family. Knowledge about our folk culture, folk art, ethnic communities is amazing.

Very nice and Beautiful place.
Best place to hangout with friends and familes.
100 rupees for adults
50 rupees for kids

Janapada Loka is separated into various wings, including the Folk Arts Museum, Loka Mahal, Chitra Kuteera, Doddamane, Shilamala, and Arghyamala. The museum has 5,000 folk artifacts in its collection. This lovely location is roughly 50 kilometers from Bengaluru. If you're searching for a new kind of relaxation for a unique weekend, this is the place to be. It's directly near to an incredible restaurant called Kamat Lokaruchi. The stunning scenery and vistas along the new Bengaluru Mysore Expressway are not to be missed. Loka Mahal, a museum wing, houses a collection of 5,000 folk objects.

An exclusive folk museum showcasing Karnataka's village traditional arts. There are numerous artifacts to examine. A big area to cover and wonderfully created part by section at each stage. It has a village feel to it, with plenty of green cover overhead. The entire area is divided into numerous segments, each with its own flair. Folk culture, musical instruments, agriculture, and farming are all represented by artifacts.
Excellent location for a half-day adventure with the entire family. Artifacts and showcase pieces require better care. It would have been better to pay for an electric buggy for moving within the complex because it is too hot to walk, especially in the summer. There is no designated parking place. The meal at the Kamat Lokaruchi hotel next door is excellent.

The art museums are excellent, and the original native tribes' homes were brilliantly constructed, depicting how people used to live in the past. The only disappointment was that they had locked all of the houses, but it was still worth a visit. The most wonderful experience of our culture is very beautifully narrated in sculptures and very old civilized ways of people's cultures and equipment and tools used by them are well preserved, and a small lake is located inside, birds sound, and good environment to spend weekend and imbibe our culture in its purest form.

Visited this place on the way back from Ramnagar. Ticket prices 100/- for adults and 50/- for children. Disappointing was that there was no option for online payment.
It has beautiful sculptures carved of different cultures of ancient India. I recommend more improvement Worthing the ticket price.

Good place near Bangalore, it's represents various culture of Karnataka's tribals.

Great place, old fashioned decor, village setting, good spread but qyakity of items, quantity and taste has all deteriorated.

Good Place with Good Food. Me and My Family is Regularly visit this place. Such a Amazing place you could ever gone through. ️️️

Uttarkarnatka food I opted it was not worth money.avg food taste.not satisfied with taste I was looking for

Janapada Loka is folk museum promoting, preserving, propagating the native folk culture of Karnataka.

Situated next to Kamath hotel and very good stop over for breakfast if you traveling from Bangalore to Mysore.

Around very beautiful 15-acre campus, where Karnataka’s rural milieus have been recreated.

A place where we see our culture good to hang out with family and kids. There is a small kids play area also.

ತುಂಬಾ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ, ಹಳ್ಳಿಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ನೆನಪುಗಳು ಮರಿಕಳಿಸುತ್ತವೆ,

ಆದರೆ ಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಪಲ್ಪ ಜಾಗೃತಿ ಮೂಡಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು, ಜನಗಳು ಪೋಟೋ ತೆಗಿಯಲ್ಲು ಅಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಮುಗಿಬಿದಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ.

It was very beautiful place for visiting and for personally I went for photoshoot locations scenary nature was very Good spot

Very good place to visit if interested in knowing about traditional Karnataka culture. The place have proper parking and entry fees of INR 50 per person.

Nice place, not so big bit worth ut. Ticket is 50 rs adult 25 rs for kids.
4th sunday of month there are programs arranged

Very nice place. It remembers our forgotten and distinctive folk forms which are in extinct now a days. Much recommended.

Nice place to know the tribes and folklore of karnataka. Nicely presented in different museums within the complex.
Lots of photo ops. Different folklores, tribes and their respective dance forms and other art forms like yakshagana, dollu kunta, bhoota kola etc are represented here.
The people are friendly and will walk you through all the exhibits.
The entrance fee is just ₹50 and ₹25 for adults and kids. I would recommend you to tip the guides inside. This is their only lively hood.
This place is open from 9: 30 in the morning till about 5: 30 in the evening.
Safe to visit even during Covid times as it's not too crowded and the space is open.
Kamat Yatrinavas is right next to it, so plan to spend a good time here on your way to Mysore.

We really enjoyed this place with family. We can easily spend three hours to see everything but if you want you can spend more time. Entry fee is Rs. 50 for adults and Rs. 25 for kids. There is no issue with parking as we need to park our vehicle outside and there is enough space without any charges.

This the one of the best places in ramanagara, to relax your maind you can visit here and also here you can see historical things

Amazing Place, Folk Museum showcasing various Folk performances of karnataka, shows the rich & diverse cultures & heritage of karnataka, Very well maintained, Must Visit place.

We had been to this place and really nice place to see and the history behind this janapada loka is even more fantastic and I am impressed when I heard one of the IAS officer took initiative to build this small world

Such a calm and quite place to relax and have a walk after having something to eat at Kamath Hotel which is right next to this place. Just taking a stroll through this place will enlighten anyone about the different art and dance forms of Karnataka. Well maintained and a beautiful place.

It's very appreciable that Folk and culture of canara is presented in an extraordinary way.
Museum is super cool.
Sculptures are very realistic!
