Mango Picking/Fruit Picking

Chiguru Farm is the pioneer of Mango Picking/ Fruit Picking Events in India.

After pioneering the Mango picking event 2015, we have been conducting it till now (except during the COVID times).

Booking on First-come-first served basis only. Limited entries per day.

Note that it is NOT just another mango-picking event where you simply walk-in, pick your mangoes, buy them and go back. It is not comparable to other mango-picking events taking place elsewhere around Bangalore. We do conduct fruit-picking events similar to this during rest of the year. Since we are a Natural Farm with a “Food Forest” in the center, we will always have some or the other fruit to pick and eat directly from the trees.

We don’t have any “few-hours-in-the-farm” kind of events. It is full day trip only. It is a very immersive and indulging experience which takes almost the entire day. You will get to know about organic farming, interact with farm animals, climb trees, ride a tractor, enjoy hearty farm-fresh breakfast and lunch and of course pick mangoes or any other seasonal fruits from trees too! Numbers are limited to 20-25 per day in order not to make the place crowded so that we don’t end up creating city-like atmosphere in the farm. 

Mango picking tour is conducted during the mango harvesting season of April/May to June/July. You’ll take a guided walking tour around the farm where you will be able to get out in the fields and learn about the various activities in the farm. You will see how fruits & vegetables grow. You also get a chance to familiarize yourself with a wide variety of fruit plants in the farm and utilize the opportunity to pluck and enjoy the fruits, according to what’s in season. 

By now you will be hungry, lunch will be served which is traditional rural Karnataka cuisine.

The guided mango plucking starts post lunch. You can pick the juiciest of mangoes right from the trees. You pay for what you pick. The farm grows badami mangoes and these are one of the most tastiest mango variety. After you have plucked to your hearts content, you will wash the mangoes and BUY them to be carried home. This tour will take 1-1.5 hours. The tress are dwarfs at this point and this makes the activity completely safe for children.

You will be walking in the fields, so remember to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Also dont underestimate Bangalore traffic and plan to get to the farm very early, so you can make best use of your visit.
