Parassinikkadavu Snake Park, Snake sanctuary in Kannur, India.
Parassinikkadavu Snake Park is a wildlife sanctuary near Kannur that houses more than 150 snake species, including cobras, pythons, and vipers, in specially designed enclosures. The grounds also feature areas for other animals such as peacocks and monkeys.
The center was established in the 1980s in Kerala as a research facility focused on extracting venom for medical purposes and producing antivenom. This scientific work remains central to the park's mission today.
The park shows how snakes hold an important place in Indian beliefs and stories through live demonstrations with regional species. You can observe how local people view these animals with both respect and caution.
The park offers regular guided sessions led by experienced handlers who demonstrate safe interaction with snakes and explain their behavior. It helps to check the schedule of demonstrations before your visit to make the most of your time there.
The facility combines snake protection with an active research laboratory where venom is extracted to develop life-saving medicines. This dual purpose makes it more than just a tourist destination.
