    visit Janmasthan , Dwarkadeesh temple , Vishram Ghat in Mathura ( for boat ride),
    Vrindavan temples - Prem mandir, bakhe bihari , iskon, etc . rest all are optional - gokul,
    govardhan,etc

    1. Janmbhumi, Mathura

    2. Dwarkadeesh temple, Mathura (6.30 am to 11am and 4pm-7pm ,opening time).


    Plan your visit in early morning. During this time crowds is less. The temple has mangle
    arti at 6.30 to 7am. Shringar till 10am-closed with curtain. Rajbhog from 10am to 11am.
    crowd line up very early. This temple is close to vishram ghat so after temple visit
    Yamuna vishram ghat. Sunrise is great to see Lord Krishna is believed to have rested
    right here after he relieved Mathura off Kansa's evil.
    You can go only in rickshaws as the lanes are very narrow. Beware of pandits here.
    They fool and dupe you to carry out pooja and extort money. The exterior of this
    magnificent temple is supported by 60 columns. A soaring, richly carved spire could also
    be seen in the exterior part of this temple.. Nearby visit to vishram ghat on the banks of
    holy Yamuna ji is a must. The curtains opens at 10 in morning for atleast one hour
    anyone can patiently take darshan and they distribute delicious mahaprasadam kheer
    after bhog to devotees. I had very good experience visiting there.
    Vishram Ghat, Mathura is a very sacred place for Hindus. It is on the banks of Yamuna
    river in Mathura. It is believed to be the place where Lord Krishna took rest after killing
    his maternal uncle Kamsa. Vishram ghat is worth visiting in the early mornings as well as
    in the late evenings. Boats at Vishram ghat take tourists and pilgrims to many holy places
    along the banks of Yamuna and completes the trip at the same place. Evening Aarti is
    worth watching. It is highly spiritual and colourful.

    Off to Vrindavan

    Banke Bihari Temple


    The Bankey Bihari Mandir, pretty much the face of Vrindavan tourism was the
    first on our list. It is only 1 km from the Vrindavan Railway station, and is among
    the seven temples of the Thakur of Vrindavan. The temple dates back to 1864,
    when it was built by Swami Haridas. The idol of the Lord is a black of the purest
    shade and is worshipped and cared for like a child. The Jhulan Yatra, where in,
    the idol is seated on silver swings speaks for this. Legend has it that looking into
    the eyes of the Bankey Bihari for too long could render one unconscious.
    Therefore, the curtains before the deity are shut every few minutes. There are no
    resoundings of bells and conches either, as the deity is believed to dislike them.
    The temple is open between 7.45 am and 12 pm and 5.30 pm and 9.30 pm in the
    summer, and 8.45 am and 1pm, and 4.30 pm and 8.30 pm in the winter.

    Sevakunj and Nidhikunj, Vrindavan: swami haridas living place


    Seva Kunj is a small and beautiful marble temple, right in the heart of the city. The temple
    is surrounded by groves of trees, which are filled with birds and monkeys. But nothing to
    worry about because the pathway leading to the temple is secured with grills, so
    monkeys can't reach you.

    Inside the temple, Krishna is caressing Radha as she is tired, and hence the name "Seva
    Kunj". The walls and ceiling have beautiful paintings depicting scenes from Krishna-
    Radha story. It is believed that Krishna and Radha visit it at night and in the morning one
    finds the food and paan eaten. Thus it is an interesting place for pilgrims and tourists
    alike.

    Nidhi van is a short distance away from Seva Kunj. It is basically a small patch of forest
    where the deity of Banke Bihari ji was first installed by saint Haridas. Nidhivan has about
    four temples and they are highly revered by the pilgrims. There are a lot of mysterious
    tales attached with Nidhivan as well. There is a little trek through the van (forest), which
    has beautiful tulsi plants in an amazing intertwined form - a definite must visit!!! There is a
    rangmahal (temple) within thats not to be missed. The best part is that its open (until 5
    PM) including the afternoons when the rest of the temples are closed.

    Meera Bai Temple, Vrindavan:, the great Krishna devotee, lived in Vrindavan for fifteen
    years. The house where she lived is now called the Meera Bai temple. It's two minutes
    from Nidhivan. The deities installed in the temple are beautiful. It is said that it was here
    that she reached the heights of her sadhana. Its a peaceful place to sit and meditate.

    Amongst the many temples in Vrindavan, Shri Krishna Balaram Mandir offers a sight
    to sigh and to top it up, it is considered to be one of the important ISKCON temples in
    India. As you put your steps into the beautiful structure built by white marbles, you will
    across an archway along with winding peacock stairways on each side. In fact, this
    Mandir holds a very special significance to the International Society for Krishna
    Consciousness. Set up by the founder of the religious society, Bhaktivedanta Swami
    Prabhupada, the temple displays Sri Krishna’s transcendental phases. Here, you can find
    three altars, in the first altar you can find an idol of Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, the incarnation of
    Nityananda Prabhu and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu; in the second or center are the deities
    of Sri Krishna and Balaram, the divine brothers. And on the third altar are the idols of Sri
    Sri Radha Shyamasundara and the gopis, Vishakha, and Lalita.
    Govardhan Parikrama : it takes around 30-40 mins from mathura . Road is good. park
    your car near Hotel wingston otherwise you will get caught in traffic jam near temple. take
    rikshaw/ walk. there is nothing much to see in the temple , so it is not worth it but outside
    view is good. Bansuri Vyanjan is a good hotel to eat - taste and service is good
