As the birthplace and childhood home of Lord Krishna — the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu — these twin cities attract millions of devotees every year from across India and the globe. Whether you are a devout Hindu seeking spiritual solace, a curious traveller exploring India's rich cultural heritage, or a photographer looking to capture the living soul of ancient India, Mathura and Vrindavan offer an experience truly unlike any other.

About Mathura — The Birthplace of Lord Krishna

Mathura, located 145 km south of Delhi on the banks of the sacred Yamuna River, is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Over 5,000 years ago, in a prison cell that stands today as the revered Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, Lord Vishnu himself took human form as the eighth son of Devaki and Vasudeva to rid the world of the tyrant Kansa. Every stone in Mathura carries the memory of that divine event.

The city of Mathura is built around this sacred event, with 25 sacred ghats along the Yamuna River, each with its own legend and significance. The most important sites in Mathura include Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, Dwarkadhish Temple (one of the grandest temples in north India, belonging to the Pushti Marg tradition founded by Vallabhacharya), Vishram Ghat (where Krishna rested after slaying Kansa, and where the magnificent evening Yamuna Aarti takes place daily), Katra Keshav Dev, Rangji Temple, Bhuteshwar Mahadev Temple, and Potara Kund — where baby Krishna's clothes were lovingly washed by Yashoda Mata.

About Vrindavan — Krishna's Playground of 5,000 Temples

Just 15 km from Mathura lies Vrindavan — the city where Lord Krishna spent his enchanting childhood and youth, charming every heart with his divine flute, his mischievous butter-stealing, and the celestial Raas Lila performed in its sacred forests. Vrindavan is home to over 5,000 temples, making it one of the most temple-dense cities in the world. Its narrow lanes, ancient trees and constant sound of bhajans create an atmosphere that devotees describe as "being in another world."

The most significant temples in Vrindavan include Banke Bihari Temple (home to the beloved swinging idol of Krishna, where the curtain is drawn every few minutes to protect devotees from the intensity of the divine gaze), ISKCON Temple Vrindavan (the golden complex of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness with magnificent architecture and soul-stirring kirtan), Prem Mandir (the stunning all-white marble temple built by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj with intricate Krishna Lila carvings and a magnificent evening light-and-fountain show), Radha Raman Temple (with a self-manifested Shaligram deity of Lord Krishna, worshipped for over 500 years), Madan Mohan Temple (one of the oldest in Vrindavan, perched dramatically on a cliff, associated with Sanatana Goswami), and the mystical Nidhivan — the sacred forest where Lord Krishna is believed to perform his Raas Lila every night even today.

Govardhan, Barsana, Nandgaon & the Sacred Braj Villages

Beyond Mathura and Vrindavan, the Braj Mandal encompasses several other sacred sites of immense importance. Govardhan Hill — the sacred mountain that Lord Krishna lifted with his little finger to protect the people of Braj from Indra's wrath — is a major pilgrimage site with a 21-km circumambulation path. Radha Kund and Shyam Kund near Govardhan are among the most spiritually potent spots in all of Braj. Barsana, the birthplace of Radharani, is famous for its seven ancient temples and the world-renowned Lathmar Holi festival. Nandgaon, Lord Krishna's childhood village and home of Nand Baba and Yashoda Mata, Raval (Radha's actual birthplace, 7 km from Barsana) and Sanket Van (where Radha and Krishna first met) — all covered in our multi-day packages.

Festival Tour Packages — Janmashtami & Holi

Two of the most extraordinary pilgrimages in Mathura Vrindavan are the Janmashtami festival (Lord Krishna's birthday in July–August) and Holi (February–March). During Janmashtami, the streets of Mathura erupt in devotion as millions celebrate the midnight birth of Lord Krishna at his birthplace — an experience of chanting, flowers, conch shells and pure devotion that is unlike anything else on earth. Our Janmashtami Special Package arranges VIP darshan at Krishna Janmabhoomi at midnight. During Holi, our Lathmar Holi Barsana Package takes you to Barsana for the unique tradition where women from Barsana playfully beat men from Nandgaon with bamboo sticks (lathis) while everyone celebrates with colours — an event that BBC, CNN and National Geographic have covered as one of the world's most spectacular festivals.
