Mathura is just about 180 km from Delhi — around three hours on the Yamuna Expressway — so you can do Krishna Janmabhoomi, Banke Bihari and Prem Mandir in a single day, or stay two to three days and add Gokul, Govardhan and Barsana.
Delhi is the most popular starting point for a Braj yatra. With the Yamuna Expressway, the drive to Mathura takes roughly three hours, which makes a same-day Mathura Vrindavan trip from Delhi easy for families, office groups and first-time visitors.
We pick you up from your home, hotel, Delhi airport or any railway station in Delhi NCR (Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad) in a private car, SUV or tempo traveller, and plan the route around darshan timings so you reach the temples when they are open.
