By road
Drive south to Delhi, then take the Yamuna Expressway to the Mathura or Vrindavan exit. Crossing Delhi is the slow part.
By train
Most travellers take a train to New Delhi and continue to Mathura Junction; a few trains run through.
Check current trains and fares on IRCTC or NTES before booking; schedules change.
By air
Road and rail via Delhi are simpler.
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
Plan to cross Delhi outside peak hours, or take a train that runs straight through.
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.
