Multan's mango varieties, month by month

Pakistan's mango season runs for about five months, from mid-May in Sindh to late September in Punjab. Punjab fruit arrives roughly three to four weeks after Sindh.

Typical windows in South Punjab; they shift a little with each year's weather.

June

Sindhri is large, juicy and travels well. Dusehri comes early but is delicate. Langra stays green even when ripe, so buyers often think it isn't ready.

Sindhri mangoes on mango leaves — Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, Chaunsa and White Chaunsa.

Small Anwar Ratol mangoes in a basket — Sindhri, Anwar Ratol, Chaunsa and White Chaunsa.

July

Anwar Ratol is small and very sweet, with a short window of roughly 1 to 25 July. Chaunsa, Multan's signature, runs from early July to mid-August.

August and September

White Chaunsa is the late-season treat and keeps well.

How well each variety suits courier delivery (our judgement, not to scale).

Natural ripening

Ripening mangoes with calcium carbide is illegal in Punjab. Natural ripening takes about five to seven days after picking, which is why we ship fruit firm-ripe so it finishes ripening at your home.
