Sundarvan
Sundarvan is a mini-zoo that offers an attractive insight into nature through shows and activities.
Originally a mango orchard of the Sarabhai, Sundarvan was converted into a nature park in 1978 and was inaugurated by the legendary ornithologist Salim Ali on October 28, 1978. It is recognised by the Central Zoo Authority of India as a mini-zoo.
The four-acre park has groves of trees and water bodies that are good for bird-viewing. Different areas of the park are dedicated to reptiles, aviary birds, small mammals, butterflies and aquarium fish. The mini-zoo is best-known for its snake park with a pit where regular snake demonstrations are held to raise awareness about the ecological importance of snakes.
The park also has activities conducted by the Centre for Environment Education.
