CPCRI

Set in Kudlu just outside town, CPCRI is a national research institute focused on plantation crops like coconut, arecanut, and cocoa, run under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. Its campus includes demonstration plots and greenery that make for a pleasant, low key walk for visitors interested in agriculture rather than typical sightseeing. It functions primarily as a working research center, so visits are best suited to those with a specific interest in crop science or plantation practices.
