Mathura Vrindavan Tour

Your spiritual journey with Touch Sky Holidays commences upon your arrival in the ancient city of Mathura. Our representative will greet you and assist with a seamless transfer to your hotel for check-in and refreshment.

The exploration begins at the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, the sacred temple complex built around the prison cell believed to be Lord Krishna’s birthplace. Feel the powerful vibrations of devotion as you walk through this historic site. Following this, we visit the Dwarkadhish Temple, renowned for its stunning architecture and vibrant murals. As evening falls, we guide you to Vishram Ghat on the banks of the Yamuna River. Here, you will witness the mesmerizing Yamuna Aarti, watching hundreds of oil lamps float downstream, marking a peaceful and blessed end to your first day in the land of Braj.

After a wholesome breakfast, Touch Sky Holidays whisks you away to the holy town of Vrindavan, the heart of Krishna’s childhood pastimes. Your spiritual immersion begins at the revered Banke Bihari Temple. Here, our guide will help you navigate the bustling energy to witness the unique darshan where the curtain is rhythmically opened and closed.

Next, experience the global spirit of devotion at the ISKCON Temple (Krishna Balaram Mandir), known for its transcendent kirtans and pristine cleanliness. We then visit Nidhivan, the mysterious grove where it is believed Lord Krishna still performs Raas Leela every night. Your day concludes at the breathtaking Prem Mandir. As dusk falls, you will witness the temple's spectacular light and sound show, where the white marble structure transforms into a canvas of changing colors, offering a perfect, luminous end to your day before we drive you back to your hotel.

• Start your day with an early morning aarti at one of the prominent temples.

• Visit the Yamuna River Ghats for a peaceful boat ride (optional).

• Immerse yourself in devotional songs, bhajans, and spiritual activities.

• Spend time exploring additional temples or indulge in shopping for souvenirs.

• Depart for your onward journey with cherished memories of this spiritual pilgrimage.

The ideal time to visit is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant and cool, making temple hopping and walking tours comfortable. While the festival of Holi (usually in March) and Janmashtami (August/September) offer incredible cultural experiences, they are also the most crowded times. Touch Sky Holidays can help you plan your trip according to your preference for weather or festivals. 

Yes, these are active religious sites. We recommend modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. For men, trousers or jeans with shirts/kurtas are appropriate. For women, sarees, salwar kameez, or long skirts/jeans with tops are suitable. It is also advisable to carry a scarf or shawl, as you may need to cover your head in certain temples.

While we provide comfortable vehicle transfers between cities and major sites, some walking is inevitable, especially within the narrow lanes of Vrindavan and inside large temple complexes where vehicles are not permitted. We recommend wearing comfortable slip-on shoes, as you will need to remove them frequently when entering temples.

Mathura and Vrindavan are holy cities, and strictly vegetarian. Consumption of non-vegetarian food and alcohol is prohibited within the city limits. However, the region is famous for its dairy-based sweets and street food. You must try the local Mathura ke Pede, Lassi, Kachori, and Makhan Mishri. Touch Sky Holidays ensures you dine at hygienic and reputable restaurants.

Yes, Mathura and Vrindavan have a very high population of monkeys, particularly in the Banke Bihari and Nidhivan areas. They are generally harmless but can snatch glasses, food, cameras, or purses. We advise you not to wear spectacles or sunglasses openly in monkey-prone areas and to keep your valuables securely inside a bag. Our guides are experienced in navigating these areas and will keep you safe.
