A trip to Mathura and Vrindavan is more than a holiday. It is a return — to stories that shaped faith, to temples where bells have rung for centuries, and to the Yamuna that still carries the sound of bhajans. Planning Mathura Vrindavan in 3 Days Tour gives you enough time to see the sacred temples, ghats, and nearby holy places without rushing. Three days let you breathe here — one day for Mathura, one for Vrindavan, and one for the places around them.
This is not just an itinerary. It is a journey of patience. A way of travelling where the car waits, the temple doors open, and time seems to slow down.

Day 1 – Temples and Ghats of Mathura
The first day of a 3 Days Mathura Vrindavan Itinerary begins at Mathura Junction, which is well-connected by trains from Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Lucknow. If you come by road, the Yamuna Expressway brings you here from Delhi in about 3 hours.
Start at Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The temple opens early (5:30 AM in summer, 6:00 AM in winter). Security checks are strict, and photography is not allowed inside. Spend time here — the chanting and the energy around this temple are unique.
Next, head to Dwarkadhish Temple, built in 1814, famous for its colourful decorations during Janmashtami and Holi. The temple usually opens from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM and again from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
By evening, sit at Vishram Ghat, where Krishna is believed to have rested after defeating Kansa. Evening aarti here is not just a ritual; it is an experience. Diyas floating on the Yamuna, priests blowing conch shells, and the sound of bells create a scene that stays in memory.
This first day in Mathura shows you why people return again and again — it is not just devotion, it is history breathing in the open air.
Day 2 – Temples of Vrindavan
The second day of Mathura Vrindavan in 3 Days Tour belongs to Vrindavan, about 15 km (30 minutes by car) from Mathura. Vrindavan is not a large town, but it feels endless because of the number of temples.
Begin early at ISKCON Temple (Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir), built in 1975. The morning Mangala Aarti at 4:30 AM is powerful, with devotees from all over the world chanting Hare Krishna. The temple remains open till 8:30 PM.
From here, walk to Banke Bihari Temple, perhaps Vrindavan’s most famous shrine. The temple opens at 7:45 AM and closes by 12:00 PM, reopening in the evening from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The darshan here is different — the curtains are drawn every few seconds so devotees only see Krishna’s eyes in glimpses.
Next, visit Radha Raman Temple, built in 1542, where the deity is believed to embody both Radha and Krishna. Smaller in scale, but spiritually deep.
Save the evening for Prem Mandir, a grand temple of white marble. The lights at night make it glow like a palace. A musical fountain show (around 7:00 PM) adds beauty, but it is the carvings and murals showing Krishna’s leelas that stay in the heart.
By the time this day ends, you’ll know why Vrindavan is called the land of devotion — every corner sings “Radhe Radhe.”
Day 3 – Sacred Spots Around Mathura and Vrindavan
The last day of your Mathura Vrindavan 3 Days Travel Package is for the sacred spots around the towns. Begin with Nidhivan, a grove that remains one of Vrindavan’s most mysterious places. It closes after sunset, as locals believe Krishna still comes here for His raas leela every night. Walking here in daylight, you feel the silence heavy with stories.
From there, drive 22 km to Govardhan Hill, where Krishna lifted the mountain to protect villagers. Many pilgrims do the Govardhan Parikrama, a 21 km walk around the hill. If you don’t have a full day, visit highlights like Radha Kund, Shyam Kund, and Kusum Sarovar.
Later, drive 50 km to Barsana, the birthplace of Radha Rani. The climb up to Radha Rani Temple on Bhanugarh hill offers wide views of the village below. Barsana is especially famous during Holi, when the Lathmar Holi is celebrated here.
If time remains, you can also visit Gokul, just 15 km from Mathura, where Krishna spent His childhood. The Nand Bhavan Temple here marks the house of Nanda Maharaj.
This third day closes the circle of your journey — from Mathura’s Janmabhoomi to Vrindavan’s temples, to the hills and groves where Krishna’s pastimes are still remembered.
Best Time to Visit for Mathura Vrindavan in 3 Days Tour
The best season for Mathura Vrindavan in 3 Days Tour is October to March, when the weather is cool and pleasant. Winter mornings can be misty, adding a quiet charm to the Yamuna ghats.
Summer (April–June) can be extremely hot, with temperatures above 40°C, so temple visits are best done early in the morning or late evening. Monsoon (July–September) brings greenery, but heavy rain can make parikrama routes muddy.
For festival lovers, Janmashtami, Radhashtami, and Holi are unforgettable. But remember — these are also the busiest times, with heavy crowds. For those seeking peace, weekdays outside festival months are ideal.
