This farm is home to 5000 crocodiles and alligators of every shape and size, from all over India and the rest of the world: a great diversity of crocodiles and caimans, including endangered species, presented with very good explanations. The snake show is worth the detour. It is also a study and breeding centre for the wildlife reserves.
The thrill of feeding time
The best moment, for maximum excitement, is 4:15 pm: the crocodiles’ mealtime.
