Your grand Holi experience begins with an early morning departure from Delhi, followed by a comfortable drive via the Yamuna Expressway to Mathura. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and freshen up before heading to Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, the exact birthplace of Lord Krishna. Explore the temple complex, historic artifacts, and the Garbha Griha (sanctum), and witness devotees chanting Krishna bhajans.
Afterward, visit Vishram Ghat, the most sacred ghat along the Yamuna River, where Lord Krishna is believed to have rested after defeating Kansa. You can opt for a peaceful boat ride to enjoy the serene ambiance. Enjoy a traditional Satvik lunch before heading to Dwarkadhish Temple, where the Holi celebrations begin with devotional songs, gulal, and bhajans.
In the evening, witness the magical Yamuna Aarti at Vishram Ghat, where hundreds of diyas are floated in the river, creating an unforgettable spiritual experience. Spend the night at a heritage hotel in Mathura.
After an early breakfast, drive to Barsana, the birthplace of Radha Rani, where you will experience the legendary Lathmar Holi. This traditional Holi celebration takes place in the Radha Rani Temple, where women from Barsana playfully chase men from Nandgaon, hitting them with sticks as a part of a fun-filled ritual. The streets are filled with organic colors, folk music, and dance performances, making this one of the most exciting Holi experiences.
After enjoying Lathmar Holi, savor a delicious Satvik lunch at a local ashram or heritage restaurant before heading to Nandgaon, the village where Lord Krishna spent his childhood. Here, the men of Nandgaon get a chance to throw colors at the women of Barsana, reversing the previous day’s celebration. The Nand Bhavan Palace and Pan Sarovar are also key sites to visit.
By evening, return to Mathura for relaxation at your hotel, followed by dinner and an overnight stay.
Wake up early and head to Vrindavan to experience the famous Phoolon Ki Holi at Banke Bihari Temple. Unlike regular Holi, here devotees are showered with fresh flowers instead of colors, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. The temple priests throw rose and marigold petals on the gathered devotees, while bhajans and chants fill the air.
After this divine celebration, visit the ISKCON Temple, where devotees from all over the world gather to sing Krishna bhajans and participate in spiritual kirtans. Enjoy a vegetarian Satvik lunch before heading to Prem Mandir, a stunning white marble temple dedicated to Radha Krishna, where you can witness a beautiful light and sound show in the evening.
Later, experience the traditional Holi celebrations at Dwarkadhish Temple in Mathura, where devotees play Holi with dry colors and sing devotional songs. The temple’s lively atmosphere and joyous vibes make it a must-visit during Holi.
Return to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.
Explore Gokul and visit Raman Reti, Chaurasi Khamba, and later head to Govardhan for a sacred parikrama, visiting Radha Kund, Kusum Sarovar, and Govardhan Hill before returning to Delhi.
