Road figures are approximate and vary with the route and the exact start point.
By road
Driving is possible but long; most people do not. If you do, plan at least one night's stop.
By train
Mathura Junction sits on the main Mumbai to Delhi trunk line via Kota, so a number of long-distance trains from Mumbai stop there. This is the most direct option.
Check current trains and fares on IRCTC or NTES before booking; schedules change.
By air
Fly to Delhi and continue by train to Mathura or by road on the Yamuna Expressway; Agra has fewer flights.
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
Book trains early around Kartik and Holi; berths to Mathura sell out.
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.
