One the monument of love another The Example of Love: Girls trip to Agra, Mathura, and Vrindavan

I have been living Hostel and PG life from School till my job, my trips and stories with me friends its endless… I had more trips with my Girls rather than groups of guys or Mix.

For this trip we started early morning so we planned to go to Matura – Vrindavan first and on the way back to Agra.

Early morning 5 of us started in a small car. On the highway we had lunch in of the Dhaba’s. In many of my trips I was about the miss my Buses, trains & flight here also as soon as we touched the highway the adventure started and out car’s tyre got Punctured. Shouting on the driver wouldn’t help because the highway was too hot and many cars’ tires were bursting & this incident became a part of this story.

As soon as we reached Mathura, We found a hotel it was not pre booked this time. So 5 of us stayed in a Family room with extra bedding, it was a birthday of one of my friends and the main reason for this trip.

In Mathura you can find hotels easily, the one we stayed in wasn’t too expensive.

The agenda was to cover Mathura, Vrindavan and Agra in two days Yeyee ….

The place from here the love started between Radha & Krishna. A most visit place if you are on UP’s belt.

Madhuban: on every trip you have your fav spot this was mine, have you heard of the song

” Madhuban Main Jo Kanhaiya Kisi Gopi Se Mile

Kabhi Muskaaye Kabhee Chhede Kabhee Baat Kare “

Meaning of this song is every day Krishan dances with Gopi’s and Radha is jealous of that & the place where they dance is Madhuban. Its strongly believes that every night Radhe-Krishna and Gopies comes to this place and dance and they play Raas Lila in Madhuban.

This place is strictly prohibited at night; nobody dares to visit this place at night. It is also said that people who has seen them dancing have lost their eyesight. It’s a huge Lush forest, Full of Tulsi.
