The Yellow Love Continues This Summer at The Great Mango Festival 2019!

Mango Festival Hanu Reddy Mango Tourism presents The Great Mango Tourism 2019, slated to be held on June 9th, 16th, and 23rd (3 consecutive Sundays) from 6:30 am to 12:30 pm at Hanu Reddy Raghava Farms, Othivakkam, Chennai. While centered around the king of fruits, this event aims to give participants a first-hand farm experience. Hanu Reddy Mangoes takes pride in producing some of the sweetest and most delicious mangoes that Chennai has ever tasted. They have been growing mangoes in our orchards in Tamil Nadu and Andhra over the last 60 Years. The fruit is allowed to mature fully on the trees before they are harvested without using harmful chemicals to artificially ripen them. This sets them, leagues, apart from the ones that are available in the market.

• Dine on a 156 feet long table made from the remnants of Cyclone Vardah
• A wholesome farm experience for the entire family
• Marketplace featuring organic jams, pickles, and products

Enjoy the farm experience Each day starts off with a scrumptious breakfast on a 156 feet long communal-style table followed by bullock cart rides, pottery, tree-hugging, traditional games by Kreeda and a marketplace to buy organic products.
