Where the tour goes
Vrindavan and Mathura are two neighbouring holy towns in Uttar Pradesh, on the Yamuna, about fifteen kilometres apart and roughly 150 kilometres south of Delhi. Vrindavan is the town of Krishna’s childhood and the richest in temples; Mathura is his birthplace. A tour almost always covers both and often Gokul too, where he was raised. Most visitors base themselves in Vrindavan for its atmosphere and short distances.
How long the tour takes
The tour flexes to your time. One day covers the essentials at a rush; two days is the comfortable, ideal length, adding Gokul; three days open the wider Braj of Govardhan and Barsana. Our honest guide to how many days you really need helps you decide and our one day Mathura Vrindavan itinerary lays out the tightest plan.
The temples you will see
The heart of the tour is the temples. In Vrindavan: Banke Bihari, the most beloved, best at the morning opening; ISKCON’s Krishna Balaram compound; the marble Prem Mandir, magical after dark; and the grove of Nidhivan. In Mathura: the Krishna Janmabhoomi on the site of Kansa’s prison, the grand Dwarkadhish Temple of 1814 and Vishram Ghat for the evening aarti. Every darshan is free. For the full roster, see our places to visit in the Vrindavan guide.
How to reach
Reaching the towns is easy. By road, the Yamuna Expressway from Delhi is the fastest, about 150 kilometres and three hours, exiting at Mathura. By train, Mathura Junction is a major railhead, with Vrindavan a short drive on. The nearest airports are Delhi and Agra. Our Delhi to Mathura Vrindavan distance and travel options guide covers the route in full and a private car is the simplest way to arrive and to tour.
What the tour costs
The tour is affordable, because darshan everywhere is free. Your real costs are travel, a simple stay and food. Our guided packages start from Rs 5,999 per person and cover the travel between towns, a stay, a local guide and the temple visits. For a full breakdown of what a trip costs and how to keep it low, see our Vrindavan trip cost complete guide.
The best time to go
The cooler months of October to March are the most comfortable. Kartik in autumn is the most devotional season and the great festivals, Janmashtami, Radha Ashtami and Holi, are magnificent but very crowded. Whatever the season, start early for the calm morning darshan. Our guide to the best time to visit Mathura Vrindavan lays out the seasons and festival dates.
What is included and what is not
A typical package includes the private air conditioned car, the driver, fuel and driver charges, a stay near the temples, a local guide and the temple visits. Usually excluded are your fare to the start city, any monument entry such as the Taj at Agra, meals and personal expenses. Darshan is always free and never charged. We give you one clear fare with everything named upfront, so there are no surprises on the day.
The honest bit
Complete details must include the honest ones. Every temple darshan is free; no one should charge you for darshan or sell you a VIP pass, for there is no official VIP pass for Banke Bihari. Banke Bihari has no daily Mangala Aarti, only rare festival days, while ISKCON holds a genuine one. Nidhivan's night raas is a cherished belief, not a documented fact. The Yamuna is revered and, honestly, polluted. We never pack a package with things that cost nothing. Told plainly, the tour is exactly what it promises.
