Mango Varieties of Pakistan — The Complete Guide (2026)
Pakistan's headline mangoes run in sequence through summer: Sindhri opens the season (late May–June), Anwar Ratol and Langra follow (late June–July), and Chaunsa closes it as the king (July–September). Each has a distinct flavour and best use — eating, gifting or cooking.
Pakistan grows some of the world's finest mangoes, most famously around Multan and Sindh. This is your map to the main varieties — when each is in season, what it tastes like, and which to choose. Each variety links to its full deep-dive.
