Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute

Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, commonly abbreviated JNTBGRI, is located at Palode in the forest-rich interior of Thiruvananthapuram district. The institute is a major centre for research, conservation and documentation of tropical plant diversity, and its official address confirms Palode, Thiruvananthapuram, PIN 695562. For tourism and education, the attraction lies in its botanical collections, landscaped green areas and the opportunity to understand Keralam’s exceptionally rich plant heritage, including useful, medicinal and native species.

At the same time, JNTBGRI is a working research institute rather than a conventional amusement park. Visitors should check current opening rules, entry procedures and any restrictions on particular research or conservation sections before planning a trip. The Palode location also makes the institute a natural addition to an itinerary focused on the Western Ghats foothills and ecotourism attractions of northern Thiruvananthapuram district.
