At Sutlej Tribe, we are delighted to bring you premium-quality walnuts straight from the pristine Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Known for its unique terrain, high altitude, and clean air & water, Kinnaur produces walnuts that stand apart in flavor, quality, and nutrition. Harvested in September and October, these walnuts are naturally sun-dried and carefully preserved, making them available year-round while retaining their authentic taste and nutritional value.

What Makes Kinnaur Walnuts Special?

Unlike imported walnuts, Kinnaur walnuts are cultivated in small, family-owned orchards using sustainable and organic farming practices and are free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The nutrient-rich soils of the Himalayan region and traditional farming methods give these walnuts a richer flavor and higher oil content.

Sustainable Farming Practices

At Sutlej Tribe, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our walnuts are cultivated using traditional farming methods without the use of synthetic chemicals, preserving the soil's natural fertility and protecting the delicate Himalayan ecosystem.

Historically, farmers in Kinnaur cultivated crops primarily for their own sustenance, with limited focus on commercial sales due to the region’s remoteness. The introduction of apple farming, along with the development of roads, transformed agriculture in the area by providing a reliable source of income. As a result, farmers began prioritizing apple cultivation over traditional crops, leading to a shift towards monoculture farming.

Over time, this heavy dependence on a single crop has made farmers increasingly vulnerable to fluctuating market prices, adverse weather conditions, and the negative impacts of monoculture.

At Sutlej Tribe, we are addressing this challenge by offering competitive prices for diverse farm produce. By encouraging crop diversification, we aim to ensure long-term agricultural sustainability and economic stability for local farmers.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

To further our commitment to the environment, we use recyclable packaging while ensuring your walnuts stay fresh and wholesome.
