Trip Highlights
The smart route Gokul Mathura Vrindavan follows this same path to avoid unnecessary travel time due to busy traffic by reducing backtracking as much as possible.
Early morning departure from Delhi allows for better roads and giving the opportunity to visit major temples instead of waiting in traffic for hours.
The reason Gokul is covered first is that it is generally a more peaceful place in the early morning and will provide a peaceful beginning to your tour. For example, locations such as Raman Reti and Nand Bhawan are more serene in the early morning.
The visit to Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi is planned for practical hours with consideration of safety checks and the wait lines that may delay rushed travelers.
The itinerary includes the Dwarkadhish Temple and Vishram Ghat, therefore adding to the overall experience of visiting the holy city of Mathura rather than just one temple.
Vrindavan is planned for the evening hours, providing optimum comfort for temple visits and the ability to move easily throughout the town.
The temple visit to Prem Mandir at night is an unforgettable experience, as the lighting, fountain show and atmosphere of devotion create the opportunity to have a memorable experience for the entire day.
The overall plan was developed based on actual temple timing, road travel patterns and crowd flow, making it the perfect tour for families, couples and visitors to Braj or Gokul for the first time.
