One day journey of Mathura & Vrindavan. We both are planning from last one year but due to some circumtences plan is getting cancelled. So one day on Facebook accidently someone added me on this group and every day I am watching everyone post and slowly-slowly get motivated and finally we have decided that we will visit at least 12 Places in 12 months and this one is our first spot in the month of January.
As usual we both had completed this ride on our Royal Enfield 350 and the total distance we have covered during this ride is 400 KM in a day. We have started our ride at 6:30AM from Gurugran, Haryana and reached Mathura, UP at 9:40AM via Yamuna Expressway.
During our ride towards Mathura we have taken 2 break’s one at Jewar Toll and another one at Mathura Toll. Total Amount we have paid for both this toll was INR 210.00 for UP & DOWN.
Place we have visited in Mathura is Dwarkadheesh and Sri Krishna Janam bhumi, Dwarkadheesh was little bit congested for bike and also we didn’t find any parking place near temple but a shopkeeper ask us to park our bike in front of his shop. I remember the exact word he spoken (Bhaiya jaldi se yaha bike lagaiye aur darsan kar lijiye mandir band hone wala hai) and after pray we thanked shopkeeper for parking place and moved for Sri Krishna Janam Bhumi. Uttar Pradesh Government had arranged good services’ in Sri Krishna Janam Bhumi with heavy security. We thought we will take some pic but nothing is allowed inside Sri Krishna Janam Bhumi not even a toy.
Some pic’s are there from Sri Krishna Janam Bhumi Gate No 1
Now time was 12:30 and we have decided that we will visit Vrindavan and we reached there at 1:30 PM distance was only 7-12 KM but on the way we have visited Gaushala. This was also amazing experience we have found more that 800 Cows and all are INDIAN bread. We have spend almost 30 minutes there and at the end a sewak ask as for food and water but we are in little bit hurry and as a promise that we will visit again we have leaved the place. We have added pic’s for Gaushala too.
Now we are on the way for Bakebihari Temple, Vrindavan and on Google map we are not getting proper location for bakebihari temple, So we have decided we will turn off Google map and start asking to local people about temple and during this we realize how wonderful people are there and every time whenever we ask for way we received proper response with Radhe Radhe Bhaiya ji at end. Bakebihari temple is also little bit congested and nearby no parking space is available, So here we ask a shopkeeper for park our bike in front of his shop and he agreed. He replayed you both can put your helmet on my shop and also take care of all your accessories like violate, gold ring, mobile etc. After Darshan we took our bike and thanked shopkeeper and we have also offer some money to him but he denied and ask us to visit again after that we have done little bit shopping’s and ask about local places to local people.
We didn’t visit any other places due to shortage of time and we have started our journey towards Delhi and during this we didn’t take any break continues ride for 189 KM and reached home safely.
What Important on this ride.
1) We have not used plastic bottles even didn’t purchased water.
2) Prefer local water available in temple or available from local houses which we filled in our shipper.
3) We have not used any polythene even at the time of shopping we refused to take polythene.
4) We haven’t used any paper cup or plastic cup for tea always we prefer kulhad even if they are charging some extra price for kulhad. Pic’s are available too.
5) We have ignored shop where we find that they are serving food on thermocol plates or using plastic glasses for drinking water.
Thank You :)
