Braj for 3 days

vmehra24 · Feb 23rd, 2009, 13:02

Planning to be in Braj, just before Holi for 3 days.
I think one day one could cover Mathura and Vrindavan comfortably.
Another day for Govardhan and Barsana (is one day over-much?)

Third day I have not yet fixed. Later in evening I return to Delhi-perhaps by Taj.
So what else to do for the third day- Agra I guess would be a natural choice. But then it would be hard to combine Taj and Fatehpur Sikri in a single day, what with trip from Mathura to Agra.

Just as long as you don't overlook that on the day of Holi in Braj, and Holi is 2 weeks long, i.e. leading up to Holi and after it in Braj, where moving about in a vehicle is, well tricky - and getting into Mathura from VVN, is at the best of times (and there are not many of them) uuh, tricky.....

Thanks. Can you elaborate why getting into Matura from VVN is tricky?
We will be there from 7th to 9th (Holi is only 11th) with our 4 year old daugther.

Oh you'll be right then as I thought you would be there on Holi days.
