On this day excursion from Delhi, visit Vrindavan and Mathura, the land of the Hindu God Krishna. Mathura is considered to be the birthplace of Krishna while he is said to have spent his childhood in the neighbouring town of Vrindavan. Mathura is one of the seven most holy places for Hindus in India. Vrindavan is the site where Krishna played and danced with the maidens of the town. Cover both these holy towns on the same day. On the way back to Delhi, stop at the beautiful Akshardham Temple that has some of the most delicate carvings to be found in a modern day temple.

Banke Bihari Temple
2 hours
You will be picked up from your hotel in Delhi for the two and half hour drive to Vrindavan that is situated around 100 miles from Delhi. Your local guide will meet you in Vrindavan and show you around the town where Krishna spent his childhood. There are over 5 000 temples in Vrindavan. On this tour visit the two most famous temples - the Bankey Bihari Temple and Prem Mandir Temple. The beautiful idols of Krishna and his divine love Radha along with other maidens are a sight to behold. The Bankey Bihari temple is unlike other Hindu temples as it does not have any bells. It is believed that bells disturb the sleep of Krishna, who is worshipped here in his child incarnation.
