The story

Orange Festival Sargodha in Sargodha

Sargodha, known as Pakistan's citrus capital, holds an annual Kinnow and orange festival organised by the Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, typically alongside a guava exhibition, bringing growers, traders, and visitors together to sample premium citrus varieties, view handicraft stalls, and learn about the region's agri-tourism economy.

Sargodha sits in Punjab's citrus belt, an area whose soil and irrigation networks proved unusually well suited to growing kinnow, a mandarin hybrid crossed from King and Willow Leaf mandarin varieties earlier in the twentieth century.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sargodha produces the bulk of Pakistan's kinnow, a mandarin hybrid that has become the country's dominant citrus export, and the festival, locally known as the Sargodha Kinnow Mela, functions as both a celebration and a working trade fair connecting farmers with buyers and visitors

02

The mystery stays covered

It runs in coordination with, or alongside, the region's National Citrus Festival and Horse and Cattle Show circuit, and pairs the fruit exhibition with displays of Punjab's rural handicrafts and farming technology, giving visitors a broader look at citrus-belt life beyond the produce itself
