Frequently asked questions

Is this tour suitable as a day trip from Delhi?

It can be compressed to a long single day covering Mathura and Vrindavan only, but Goverdhan and Barsana are more comfortable with the overnight this two-day version includes.

What is the best time to visit for Holi in Vrindavan?

Vrindavan's Holi celebrations, especially at the Banke Bihari and ISKCON temples, run for several days around the main Holi date and are extremely crowded — book well ahead if that is your target date.

Are these sites within walking distance of each other?

No — Mathura and Vrindavan are close (about 15 minutes apart), but Goverdhan and Barsana are each a further 30–45 minutes' drive, which is why a private car makes sense for this circuit.

What is included?

Private car and driver for the full circuit; Local guide for the temple sites.
