Delhi to Vrindavan is an easy trip, and you have three good options.
By road
Driving takes roughly 2.5 hours via the Yamuna Expressway, depending on traffic. From the Mathura exit, Vrindavan is about 12 km. Start early to avoid heavy traffic, and leave extra time during festivals.
By train
Trains run from Delhi to Mathura Junction, which is about 12 km from Vrindavan. Check IRCTC for current services and book early for festival weekends. Vrindavan also has a small station of its own.
By taxi or private car
A private car is the simplest door-to-door option for families and elders. Agree the fare before you start, and confirm luggage space.
Arrival tips
Share your arrival time with the hotel so check-in (from 2 PM) runs smoothly. Keep some cash for local e-rickshaws. Plan the first day lightly after travel.
