Road figures are approximate and vary with the route and the exact start point.
By road
Drive towards Agra, joining the Agra to Lucknow Expressway, then north to Mathura on NH19.
By train
Kanpur is on the main Howrah to Delhi line. Some trains reach Mathura Junction; many more stop at Tundla or Agra, from where the rest is a short trip.
Check current trains and fares on IRCTC or NTES before booking; schedules change.
By air
Road and rail are simpler; the nearest major airport on the route is 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
If you change at Agra, leave a margin; connections are not timed for each other.
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.
