Tips for this drive

  • Holi and Janmashtami bring huge crowds to Vrindavan and Mathura; expect closures and plan to walk.
  • Inside Vrindavan the lanes are narrow; park near Prem Mandir or ISKCON and use e-rickshaws.
  • Mathura (Krishna Janmabhoomi) is only about 12 km away, so many combine both.

Crosses from Delhi into Uttar Pradesh (ask taxis about permit charges).
