Road figures are approximate and vary with the route and the exact start point.
By road
The usual drive is via the Yamuna Expressway from Greater Noida, leaving at the Mathura or Vrindavan exit. Allow extra time to cross Delhi itself, which can take longer than the expressway. Roadways and private buses run from Delhi towards Mathura through the day.
By train
Mathura Junction lies on the busy Delhi to Agra main line, and many trains from New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin and other Delhi stations stop there. The faster ones take around two hours.
Check current trains and fares on IRCTC or NTES before booking; schedules change.
By air
Visitors flying in land at Indira Gandhi International Airport, then continue by road or by train from Hazrat Nizamuddin or New 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
Weekends and festival days bring heavy traffic on the last stretch into Vrindavan. Leave Delhi early in the morning.
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.
