Mathura, Vrindavan & Agra
Krishna's birthplace, the bhakti lanes of Vrindavan, and the Taj Mahal at Agra.
The Land of Krishna's Leela
The Braj region is where Lord Krishna was born and where he grew up. Mathura holds the Krishna Janmabhoomi, while Vrindavan — with Banke Bihari, Prem Mandir, ISKCON and a maze of ancient lanes — is the heart of Krishna bhakti.
Nearby Govardhan, Barsana and Nandgaon extend the circuit, and the Yamuna Aarti at Vishram Ghat gives the region its own evening ritual.
Agra, two and a half hours away, adds the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri — which is why this destination is equally popular with leisure travellers.
