Parassinikkadavu
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Parassinikkadavu for the temple, snake park and riverside walks; stay overnight only if you want a relaxed village night.
Parassinikkadavu is a small riverside town in Kannur district, Kerala. Its main draw is the Muthappan Temple (offering toddy), a snake park and easy access to mangrove eco‑parks and islands. All sights are within a few kilometres, so a single day covers the highlights; budget lodging is available for a night if you prefer a slower pace.
