The city of Vrindavan is where the young Krishna is said to have grown up. Pilgrims flock here from all over the world. Visit Shri Bankey Bihari Temple, the holiest and most famous temple of Lord Krishna. This temple houses a sacred image of Lord Krishna known as Thakur Ji. The idol of Krishna here is jet black. Take part in Shringar Aarti at Bankey Bihari Temple (Depend on Temple Time). You can offer flower garlands and sweets to Lord Krishna and also meditate for some time in the temple complex.

Visit Prem Mandir, a religious and spiritual complex situated on a 54-acre site on the outskirts of Vrindavan. It is dedicated to Shri Krishna. Follow the circumambulation route, which is 40-feet wide and begins from the main entrance of the temple, consisting of 80 panels. In these panels the different pastimes of Shri Krishna, as described in the Shrimad Bhagavat Puran, have been chronologically displayed in three dimensional formats. Offerings are not allowed in the temple.

After, drive to Mathura. Famed for being the birthplace of the much-loved Hindu god Krishna, Mathura is one of Hinduism’s seven sacred cities and attracts floods of pilgrims round the year. Visit the Shri Krishna Janambhoomi Temple, the birthplace of the ancient Hindu God Lord Krishna. It is a prison cell belonging to Kansa where Lord Krishna was born. Enjoy live kirtan in the kirtan room. You may also offer flower garlands and sweets to the lord. 

Drive to the City of the Taj Mahal, Agra, the capital of the erstwhile Mughal empire. Take a lunch break provided at local restaurants in Agra. After lunch, visit the legendary Taj Mahal, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. No trip to Agra would be complete without a visit to this shimmering vision of domes and minarets. The world's best-known tomb stands testimony to the timeless love story of the 17th century Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and his wife - queen Mumtaz Mahal.

Do some shopping in Agra, known for its fabulous handicrafts, made of marble and soft-stone inlay work. The Mughals were great patrons of arts and crafts. Empress Nur Jahan took personal interest and was an accomplished artist herself in zari embroidery work. Agra's major handicraft products besides inlay work are leather ware, brass-ware, carpets, jewelry and embroidery work.

After a memorable day, drive back to Delhi. Arrive in Delhi by approximately 8pm and be dropped-off at your hotel or the airport.
