SNAKE PARK PUNE MAHARASHTRA

The Katraj Snake Park of Pune became functional in 1986, by the efforts of Mr. Neelam Kumar Khaire, aided by the Pune Municipal Corporation. Mr Khaire is not only the Director of the park but also a snake lover himself. He has introduced novel techniques of communication such as providing information about snakes for the blind through braille.
Information about snakes is exhibited in a library within the park. A zoo has just been added, making it a popular tourist destination, particularly for children. This snake park is well-known for its pro-wildlife activities. It has organized many snake festivals and snake awareness programs to clarify doubts and destroy fears about this species. During Nagpanchami, the Katraj Snake Park at Pune arranges programs to discourage ill-treatment towards snakes.
