Road figures are approximate and vary with the route and the exact start point.

By road

Agra to Mathura is a straight run north on NH19, then the short road into Vrindavan. Buses and shared taxis run constantly, and the trip is easy as a day visit.

By train

Agra Cantt and Raja ki Mandi are on the Delhi to Agra main line, with frequent trains to Mathura Junction, often under an hour.

Check current trains and fares on IRCTC or NTES before booking; schedules change.

By air

Agra airport has limited domestic flights; most air travellers come through Delhi.

Mathura to Vrindavan

Whichever way you come, the last stretch is the same. Mathura Junction to Vrindavan is about 15 km, usually 30 to 45 minutes by auto, e-rickshaw or taxi depending on traffic. Agree the fare before you sit. Inside Vrindavan the lanes are narrow and jam easily, so walk or take an e-rickshaw rather than drive to the door.

Before you go

Many visitors combine Vrindavan with the Taj Mahal. Keep the Vrindavan day separate: the lanes need time.

This site does not publish darshan or ekantik timings, which change; follow the official channels before you travel. For what to see once there, use the 2-day Vrindavan plan, and for the ashram itself read how to meet Premanand Ji Maharaj.

This is a fan website, not the official site of Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj. The article summarises what he teaches in public satsang; it does not quote him. If something here is wrong, tell us and it is corrected the same week.
