Adventure in Mathura: A 2-Day Itinerary

  1. Day 1: Krishna Janmasthan
    10 minutes (4.3 km) from Mathura Junction Railway Station

    Start your day with an adventurous trip to the birthplace of Lord Krishna, the Krishna Janmasthan. The temple complex houses several temples, including the main temple of Lord Krishna. Visit the prison cell where Lord Krishna was born and take a boat ride in the Yamuna river. Afternoon, you can head to the Dwarkadhish Temple, located close by. Evening, take a walk around the Keshav Dev Temple and explore the local markets for some authentic souvenirs.

  2. Day 2: Goverdhan Hill
    1 hour 10 minutes (24.1 km) from Mathura Junction Railway Station

    Start early in the morning and make your way to Goverdhan Hill, a sacred hill located around 22 km from Mathura. The hill is believed to be the place where Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan Mountain on his finger to protect the people from torrential rains. Trek to the hilltop and enjoy a breathtaking view of the surrounding areas. Afternoon, head to the Radha Kund and Shyam Kund, two sacred ponds located nearby. Evening, you can visit the Kusum Sarovar, a beautiful lake surrounded by lush green trees.

Recommendations

If you have an extra day, you can take a day trip to Vrindavan, just 15 km from Mathura. Vrindavan is home to several temples dedicated to Lord Krishna, including the famous Banke Bihari Temple and the ISKCON Temple. You can also visit the Prem Mandir, a beautiful temple made of white marble. If you're interested in exploring more of the region, you can take a day trip to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal.
