Buy Fresh Mangoes in Hyderabad — Including Himayat, the City's Own Heritage Variety
Hyderabad has its own mango story — and at the centre of it is Himayat, a variety developed by the Nizam's horticulturalists in the 18th century and still grown in the orchards around the city today. The Himayat mango is Hyderabad's most prized, and the city's passionate mango community treats it with the same reverence Mumbaikars give to Alphonso.
