Detailed itinerary

Day 1

Arrival and Evening Boat Ride at Vishram Ghat

Upon arriving in Mathura, guests will check into their hotel and freshen up. In the late afternoon, they will proceed to the sacred Vishram Ghat, one of the most revered spots on the banks of the Yamuna River. This ghat holds immense religious significance as it is believed to be the resting place of Lord Krishna after his victory over Kansa.

Here, the serene boat ride begins, offering a tranquil experience as you glide across the calm waters. As the boat moves gently, you can witness the beautiful ghats lining the river, local devotees performing rituals, and the spiritual aura of the place enhancing with the setting sun.

The evening boat ride concludes with a mesmerizing Ganga Aarti, where devotees float lit diyas on the water, creating a magical reflection across the river.

Day 2

Morning Boat Ride and Vrindavan Visit

Start your day early with a refreshing morning boat ride once again at Vishram Ghat. The early hours offer a peaceful environment with soft chants and the cool breeze from the Yamuna. As the sun rises, enjoy picturesque views of temples and daily local life along the riverbanks. The boatman may take you further towards Kesi Ghat in Vrindavan, another sacred location associated with Lord Krishna’s legendary pastimes.

After the ride, guests can explore the temples and lanes of Vrindavan, visiting iconic temples such as Banke Bihari Temple and Prem Mandir. The rest of the day can be spent shopping for local handicrafts, savoring famous Mathura pedas, and experiencing the spiritual essence of Braj.

What our customers say

It was my first time booking with Mathura Vrindavan packages, and I was quite skeptical at first. But Preeti planned a very detailed tour and was always available to answer all my questions, which made me feel comfortable. Once the tour started, the experience was truly amazing. The hotel provided was a good 3-star property, and the drivers were very polite and helpful throughout the trip. We experienced the best Holi of our lives at Barsana. I would highly recommend everyone to visit and experience the same joy that we did.

Jaiveer ji and Nagendra ji, thank you for arranging such an amazing trip. Hotel was good, staff well behaved, and guide Deepak ji was also good. Sightseeing by cab was a good decision as we were able to minimise travel time and be more present, mentally and physically, at the divine places. Tour planning of 3 days at Mathura Vrindavan and 1 day at Agra was well planned. Thank you again.

Great experience right from airport pickup at Delhi, taking us to over 10 places and dropping back at the airport. The entire trip was arranged with good planning, and Mr. Nagendra was always tracking progress and course-correcting whenever there was a challenge or change required. The family felt safe and at home throughout the trip, and it was truly a memorable one. I intend to recommend this to others.

Booked a 4-day package for my parents, both above 60 years old. Didn't receive a single call from them regarding any difficulties — that says it all. Nice experience with you guys. Nice hotel, and the driver was so experienced and helpful.

We planned a trip to Varanasi, Prayagraj, Naimisharanya & Ayodhya. The trip was planned and well coordinated by Mathura Vrindavan Tour. The hotels booked were neat and clean and provided free breakfast. The driver was okay — even though he did not know all the places, he managed to get us there. I would choose Mathura Vrindavan Tour one more time. Thanks, Nagender ji.
