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.

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

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.
