India's Best Mango Tourism Destinations: From Konkan's Alphonso to Andhra's Banganapalli

Mango is not just a fruit, but a feeling associated with our childhood memories and summer vacations. Everyone, from children to adults, eagerly awaits the mango season. That's why mango is called the king of fruits. You'll find over 1,200 varieties of mango in India, each with distinct flavors.

This is why the craze for mango tourism is growing rapidly among people these days. People are no longer just buying mangoes from the market, but are also choosing to visit vast mango orchards during their holidays. Plucking fresh mangoes from the trees and tasting them is a truly special experience for mango lovers. If you too want to enjoy mango tourism, let's learn about select places in India that are famous for their mangoes.

The Alphonso mango, found in the coastal areas of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka, i.e., the Konkan coast, is famous worldwide. It is also called the King of Mangoes. It grows in areas like Devgad, Ratnagiri, and Raigad. This fiberless mango is extremely sweet in taste. Tourists can tour the orchards and taste fresh Alphonso mangoes plucked straight from the trees.

The famous Langra mango hails from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. However, you'll also find this fruit growing in Bihar and West Bengal. Interestingly, each area offers a different taste-Langras from East India stay green and sweet, whereas those from North India turn orange, getting juicier and pulpier.
