About us · Thakur Estate

Every tree tells a story. Every apple carries our promise.

Founded by Pankaj & Shilpa Thakur in Ani, District Kullu — Himalayan Crown Orchards invites you to walk with us through the year, long before an order is placed.

Pankaj Thakur of Thakur Estate
Pankaj Thakur Orchard keeper

He tends the rows through dormant winters and long summer days — reading the trees long before the first crate is packed.

Shilpa Thakur of Thakur Estate

She holds the promise of care — from blossom watch to the moment fruit is chosen for homes that have waited with us.

Our dream is not only to grow premium apples, but to connect every family with the beauty of our Himalayan orchard.

Orchard journey

Follow our orchard through every season—from blossom to harvest.

Stay close to every chapter of Thakur Estate, not only the week we sell.

  1. Winter

    Quiet among the trees

    Pruning, rest, and preparation. The orchard gathers strength while the hills sleep under cold Himalayan air.

  2. Spring

    Blossom & hope

    Pink-white flowers open across Thakur Estate. Pollination begins — the first promise of fruit you may one day hold.

  3. Summer

    Altitude at work

    Cool nights and bright mountain days deepen colour and sweetness on our M9 trees. Patience does the ripening.

  4. Harvest

    From orchard to home

    Only when the fruit is ready do we open orders — hand-selected, packed with care, and delivered fresh to your home.

Brand promise

Only Premium Quality Products. No Compromise on Quality.

From Our Orchard to Your Home.

Handpicked

Each apple is chosen for colour, aroma, and that unmistakable Himalayan snap.

Premium graded

Carefully graded by size so every order meets our orchard standard.

Naturally sweet

Harvested at optimal maturity for premium sweetness of 13–15° Brix.

Carefully packed

Selected and packed with care so the journey from orchard to home stays true.

Our seasonal harvest

Harvested once a year. Delivered at peak freshness.

Apple farming is seasonal, and we proudly embrace nature’s timeline. Unlike many sellers who supply apples throughout the year from long-term storage, Himalayan Crown Orchards delivers apples only during the natural harvest season.
