Today, I’m going to share our trip to the northern part of India. In this trip, we have covered New Delhi, Amritsar, Agra, Mathura and Vrindavan in three days. Boarded into early morning flight to from Hyderabad and reached New Delhi by 08 AM in the morning. Upon reaching New Delhi we straight away boarded into Aerospace metro and reached Akshardham.
Akshardham, one of the largest temple complexes in India famous for Swami Narayan temple. After darshan, we have a plan to visit a few places in Delhi like QutubMinar, Red Fort and then finally India Gate.
After visiting few places in New Delhi, we have boarded into Punjab mail to reach Amritsar. Since we reached early in the morning, we have waited at the hotel lobby since early booking not available. The hotel we booked is very near to Golden Temple. Since it was Saturday there is heavy rush and it took more than 4 hours for the darshan. As soon as the darshan got completed, we hired an auto to go to Wagah Atari border for the evening ceremony. By the time we reached the ceremony got completed and we missed the chance to see the parade. We spent some time there and headed back to Amritsar and visited Jallianwala Bagh and return back to the station to catch our train to New Delhi.
Our next destination is Agra, as soon as we reached New Delhi, we have boarded into a train to reach Agra. We visited Taj Mahal and headed towards Mathura and Vrindavan.
Agra is famous for Tajmahal, one of the seven wonders of the world and most visited tourist destination in India.
Mathura:
One of the sacred Hindu pilgrim center where lord Krishna born and also it is one of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism. We visited Lord Krishna temple which was said to birth place and headed towards Vrindavan which was 15 km away from Mathura.
As per legend, Lord Krishna spent his childhood here. This is twin city of Mathura famous for group of temples , most of them dedicated to Lord Krishna and his consort Goddess Radha.
Since it was already 8 PM, most of the temples in the city were about to close and we went to Prem Mandir, a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and Lord Rama along with their respective consorts. It was a two store building completely constructed with Italian Marble.
The best time to visit to this temple is at the evening where one can enjoy beautiful light show. And also, there are so many sculptures depicting different mythological events.
After spending some time, we headed towards New Delhi from where our return journey scheduled.
The journey between Mathura and the New Delhi was horrible as the bus we boarded had issues during the transit and they have arranged another bus for rest of the journey.
Finally reached New Delhi by 1 AM in the morning and straight away went to the Airport.
Note:
Make sure to reach Wagah Atari border on or before 3 PM, so that you will get a seat for clear view of the parade.
Don't forget to buy peda prasad at Mathura.
