Directions to Our Orchard
The Festival takes place at our very own mango orchard, Hanu Reddy Raghava Farms, located just 30km south of Chennai airport. Our orchard is home to towering mango trees that are over 60 years old and offer the most delicious mangoes you'll ever taste! Bordering the Kayar Reserve Forest, our farm is frequently visited by deer, peacocks, and exotic birds. So, not only will you enjoy a day filled with fun activities, but you'll also be surrounded by nature's beauty.
Hanu’s Table
The World’s Longest Table? Maybe. The World’s Happiest Table? Definitely!
In 2016, Cyclone Vardah rocked the Indian subcontinent and left behind destruction. But out of that, was born the most iconic aspect of the Hanu Reddy Raghava Farms. The 156ft long table, built of felled Casuarina and Eucalyptus wood, is a testament to the perseverance of the community after such a painful experience.
Conceptualised by Hanu Reddy Studios, on the farm, it epitomizes our philosophy to “Create Value from Waste”. It came together over two months, and now stands under a canopy of 60 year old mango trees. Today, we invite members from all walks of life to build stronger ties around this community table.

Hanu Reddy Mango Tourism
The Vision
Did you know that India generates over half the world's mangoes?
With Hanu Reddy Mango Tourism, we hope to give back to the farming community, and bridge the gap between the farmer and the market – both local and global, by putting this glorious fruit on the map. The festival aims to inspire farmers to sell experiences, providing them with an additional source of income while also promoting rural tourism. This helps improve the livelihoods of farmers and ultimately contributes to the country's economy.
Through this festival, Hanu Reddy Mango Tourism is also promoting mango tourism, showcasing the diversity and richness of India's agricultural landscape. The Great Mango Festival is not just about having fun and enjoying delicious mangoes, it's also about raising awareness about sustainable farming practices and the importance of supporting local farmers. It's an opportunity to put India on the map for its mangoes and farming practices.
Inspiring farmers to sell experiences instead of just produce.
Throwing it Back!
Straight from the mango lovers
“If I am able to time travel, I would rewind and fast forward the same day of The Great Mango Festival and do it all over again and again. My sincere thanks to the Reddy family for making this once in a lifetime experience possible.”
“The breakfast was delicious, the additional activities were great engaging, and of course the mango picking was a treat.”
“Mango picking was just over the top. We found ourselves losing to nature, kindling the child in us. It was wonderful to see the visitors climb up on each other to become the ladder and pick the mangoes.”
