Same DayMathura & Vrindavan Tour

Embark on a deeply spiritual journey with our same day Mathura Vrindavan tour from Delhi, the most popular pilgrimage day trip from the national capital. The birthplace of Lord Krishna, Mathura and its twin city Vrindavan together form one of the seven most sacred Hindu pilgrimage circuits (Sapta Puri), easily reachable via the Yamuna Expressway in just 3 hours from Delhi. Triveni Cabs has transported over 4,000 devotees and tourists on this sacred route, earning a 4.9 Google rating and countless blessings from satisfied pilgrims.

The journey starts with pickup at 5:00-6:00 AM from your Delhi hotel, railway station, or any location across Delhi NCR including Noida, Gurgaon, and Faridabad. We take the Yamuna Expressway from the Greater Noida entry point, covering the 180 km to Mathura in approximately 3 hours. The expressway is one of India's safest and best-maintained highways, with 6 lanes, regular rest areas, fuel stations, and 24/7 highway patrol. Our drivers make a brief stop around the Jewar toll plaza area for tea and light breakfast at one of the clean highway rest stops.

Your Mathura sightseeing begins at Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, the exact prison cell where Lord Krishna was born over 5,000 years ago. This sacred complex, located in the heart of Mathura, is one of the holiest sites in Hinduism. Security is strict -- mobile phones, bags, and electronic devices must be deposited at the cloakroom outside. Inside, you will see the ancient prison cell (garbha griha), the main temple with beautiful Krishna idols, and the surrounding courtyard that hosts grand celebrations during Janmashtami. Expect to spend about 1.5 hours here, including queue time.

Next, visit the ornate Dwarkadhish Temple, one of Mathura's most beautiful temples. Built in 1814 by Seth Gokuldas Parikh, this temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna as the King of Dwarka. The temple's intricately carved balconies, pillared halls, and vibrant paintings depicting Krishna's life are architectural highlights. The daily aarti ceremonies here are particularly moving. From Dwarkadhish Temple, a short walk brings you to Vishram Ghat, the most sacred of Mathura's 25 ghats along the Yamuna River, where Lord Krishna is believed to have rested after slaying the tyrant King Kansa. The evening aarti here rivals that of Varanasi's ghats in its spiritual intensity.

After Mathura, you drive 15 km northeast to Vrindavan, the land of Lord Krishna's childhood pastimes. Your first stop is Banke Bihari Temple, the most famous and visited temple in Vrindavan. Built in 1864 by Swami Haridas, this temple is known for its unique "jhanki" darshan -- the curtain before the deity is periodically drawn and reopened rather than remaining open continuously, as it is believed that Krishna's beauty is so mesmerizing that one cannot look away. The temple lanes are narrow and can be crowded, so our driver parks at the designated parking area near the temple approach road.

Lunch in Vrindavan is a pure vegetarian affair -- the entire city is vegetarian and alcohol-free. We recommend the ISKCON Temple's prasadam hall for a delicious, hygienic meal, or one of the restaurants near Banke Bihari Temple serving excellent North Indian vegetarian cuisine. After lunch, visit the grand ISKCON Temple (Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir), founded by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1975. This temple complex features beautiful marble architecture, serene gardens, a museum showcasing Krishna consciousness philosophy, and a bakery offering delicious prasadam sweets.

Your final Vrindavan stop is the spectacular Prem Mandir (Temple of Love), inaugurated in 2012 after 12 years of construction. This magnificent white Italian marble temple, built by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj, depicts scenes from Lord Krishna's life through intricate carvings and life-size tableaux. If your schedule allows an evening visit, the Prem Mandir light show at dusk is truly magical -- the entire marble structure is illuminated in changing colors of pink, blue, green, and gold, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
