Muthappan Temple
address: On the riversideYou can get an auto (₹20) for a ride down the winding road to the temple. Alternatively there is a direct footpath with wide steps. The temple has a simple layout and cute look. Unlike other Kerala temples, non-Hindus are also welcomed inside the temple because this temple is governed by an atheist organization who want to continue the traditions and get the income. The surrounding villages are dominated by Hindus of atheist variety. Very often, the womenfolk of these villages are deeply religious. This temple has no idol to worship, rather a ritualistic art-form (Muttappan Theyam) to worship. Snake Park
Vellikkeel Eco ParkYou can go across the Vellikkeel Bridge by hiring an auto-rickshaw from Bakkalam to Pattuvam (₹200). Very beautiful mangrove swamps and an estuary.

Village teashopsThere are two village tea shops in Parassinikkadavu bus terminus. Even though the seating arrangements are basic, the food is very clean, tasty and cheap. In Kerala, smaller restaurants of the villages offer good value for money. You can see people in big cars visiting these humble restaurants because the city restaurants offer a stereotype fare.
