Parassinikkadavu Snake Park
The Parassinikkadavu Snake Park, located at Mayyil Road, Dharmasala, Parassinikadavu, is a one-of-a-kind tourist spot in Kannur. The remarkable establishment is home to a wide variety of species, including snakes, birds and reptiles.
The snake park was established on January 8th, 1982, under the guidance of M.V. Raghavan (MVR), Hon. Ex-minister of the state. The development plan of the park was an outgrowth of Pappinisseri ‘Visha Chikitsa Kendra,’ an establishment dedicated to Snakebite diagnosis and treatments.
Presenting a valuable opportunity to create awareness about the ecological significance of snake species was the most significant inspiration for social activists of this region for establishing this Park.
As you walk through the park, you will find that the park houses a significant variety of snakes, both venomous and non-venomous. It brings us a great opportunity to witness different species of animals up close and explore their habitat and ecosystem. Expert snake handlers are present at the location to ensure a safe experience for the visitors.
Apart from snakes, the major reptilian species living here include lizards, turtles and crocodiles. You can learn about various species, their behaviours and the role of animals in ecosystem maintenance.
The park features various arts and sculptures like termite mound rock tunnel, the panther statue and the sculpture of the great Steve Irwin who is nicknamed ‘the crocodile hunter’.
Ticket fares for entry at the snake park vary from children to adults. However, for children below the age of 5 and adults above 80 years, the park presently offers free entry.
The overall environment of the snake park is serene with lush greenery, beautiful gardens, children’s play areas, an aquarium and well-maintained pathways. The stunning environment and setups at the park offer perfect spots to capture for photography and videography enthusiasts.
