Vrindavan Tour Package

Vrindavan- A Spiritual Journey

Situated on the banks of the holy River Yamuna, Vrindavan is a famous pilgrimage site in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. Known for its temples and mythological significance, it blends beauty, religion and history perfectly. With a Vrindavan tour package tourists from all over the world plan their pilgrimage in search of peace and contentment. It is believed that Krishna played his flute in Vrindavan around 5,000 years ago, with a slew of heavenly beings manifested as cows. He tended his cowherd friends and the milkmaids with whom he spent long and glorious evenings in the forest. Many years after Lord Krishna's death, his followers begged his great-grandson, Vajranabh, to go to Vrindavan and revive the ‘lila sthals’ (locations of Lord Krishna's lilas). Several Vrindavan temples were built at that time.

Mathura is the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Mathura and Vrindavan are considered twin cities. You can book a Mathura Vrindavan tour package or only a Vrindavan tour package to soak in the spiritual beauty of these places.

A Vrindavan tour package takes you through the lanes that are soaked in spiritual fervour and ecstasy. The scenic beauty around the white marble temples is mesmerising.

Visit the famous Banke Bihari Temple and Prem Mandir Vrindavan with a Vrindavan tour package and witness the glory of these temples. Radha Raman Temple, ISKCON Temple and Ranganatha Temple are other Vrindavan places to visit. Don’t miss the ‘Yamuna Puja’ on Keshi Ghat and Kusum Sarovar while on a trip with the Vrindavan tour package.

In the temple, Lord Krishna appears in the guise of a child, standing in the Tribhanga stance (bent in three places).

Prem Mandir

This massive temple built in 2001 is one of the best Vrindavan places to visit with the Vrindavan tour package. It is dedicated to Radha-Krishna and Ram-Sita. This newly constructed temple is a new attraction to see in Vrindavan. Devotees flock to the temple for the evening ‘Aarti’. The intricate carvings on the marble walls of the temple are worth mentioning. Episodes from Lord Krishna’s life have been depicted on the temple walls. The lighting glorifies the expanse of the temple after sunset. The view of water fountains dancing to the tunes of kirtans is an audio-visual delight. Your trip with a Vrindavan tour package is incomplete without visiting this temple.

Food and More

Prasadam

Taste the real essence of Vrindavan with a Vrindavan tour package. Take a trip to the ISKCON temple and savour the ‘prasadam’ that is served there. Head to ISKCON’s ‘prasadam’ hall where you get to enjoy pure vegetarian homely food at a very reasonable price.

Lassi

Lassi made from fresh thick yoghurt and served in earthen pots (kulhad) will truly steal your heart away on your trip with a Vrindavan tour package.

Malpua

Malpua is a sweet dish popular in Vrindavan and is a must-try while you explore Vrindavan sweet shops during your trip with a Vrindavan tour package. It is a fried snack dipped in sugar syrup and garnished with shredded pistachios. The flavour and aroma of this dessert are going to stay in your memory forever.

Rabri

A favourite among tourists and local people, this sweet dish is a condensed form of milk. Milk is heated in a flat pan for a long time on a high flame. The sweetness comes naturally from the milk and thus there is no need to add sugar to it. It goes perfectly well with malpua. You can relish it alone as well.
