About this Mathura-Vrindavan Tour
Walk the land where Lord Krishna was born and grew up - Mathura & Vrindavan, the heart of Krishna bhakti.
Mathura is the birthplace of Lord Krishna, and neighbouring Vrindavan is where he spent his childhood - together they form the most sacred Krishna pilgrimage in India. This 2-day darshan takes you to the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi (the prison cell where Krishna was born), the beloved Banke Bihari temple, the stunning marble Prem Mandir with its evening light show, the serene ISKCON temple, and the ghats of the Yamuna.
It's an easy, soul-stirring trip — just 3.5–4 hours from Delhi, perfect to add if you're flying into Delhi from elsewhere. And during Janmashtami (4 September 2026), the whole region comes alive with unmatched devotion.

Temple Timings: Most temples close midday (roughly 12–4 PM) and reopen in the evening. We plan the day around darshan and aarti timings — do reconfirm current timings on the day.
Banke Bihari: The most popular Vrindavan temple gets very crowded — we start early to get comfortable darshan. Phones/cameras may be restricted inside some temples.
Janmashtami (4 Sep 2026): The grandest time to visit, but extremely crowded — book early and expect long queues. We arrange stays and plan smart timings.
How to Reach: Mathura-Vrindavan is about 3.5–4 hours from Delhi by road; the nearest railhead is Mathura Junction. We handle all transfers — ideal to add to a Delhi trip.
