How to reach Vrindavan

By train to Mathura, by road from Delhi or Agra, and getting around once you arrive.

Vrindavan sits beside the Yamuna in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh. Most visitors come by train to Mathura or by road from Delhi or Agra.

By train

Mathura Junction is the main railway station for Vrindavan and has good connections across north and central India. From the station it is a short ride to Vrindavan by auto-rickshaw, taxi or app cab.

By road

From Delhi, the Yamuna Expressway is the usual route and the drive takes a few hours depending on traffic. From Agra the drive is shorter. Buses run to Mathura from Delhi and Agra, and many families prefer a private car so they can travel at their own pace.

By air

There is no airport in Vrindavan itself. Visitors flying in usually land in Delhi or Agra and continue by road or rail.

Getting around

• E-rickshaws and auto-rickshaws are the easiest way through the old town's narrow lanes.
• Agree the fare before you set off.
• For Radha Kund, Govardhan and Barsana, a car for the day is more comfortable than changing autos.
• Walk where you can: many of the oldest temples are close together.
