Trains from Delhi and other cities

Dozens of trains run every day between Delhi (New Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin and Delhi Junction) and Mathura Junction, taking roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. Mathura is also a regular stop for trains from Mumbai, Gujarat (Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior), Rajasthan and South India.

  • Book early for Janmashtami, Holi, Diwali and long weekends – trains to Mathura fill up quickly.
  • Choose a train that arrives in the morning so you can start darshan the same day.
  • Keep your PNR and coach number handy and share it with your driver for a smooth pickup.

Getting from the station to your hotel

Outside Mathura Junction you will find autos, e-rickshaws and taxis. For families, seniors or late-night arrivals, a pre-booked cab is the most comfortable option – our driver waits at the main exit with a name board and stays with you for all temple visits.

Station tips for pilgrims

  • Use the official prepaid/auto stand or a pre-booked cab; agree on the fare before you start.
  • Keep luggage locked and valuables in a small bag, especially during festival rush.
  • If you are going straight to Banke Bihari, check darshan timings – the temple closes around noon and reopens in the evening.
  • Seniors can request a wheelchair at the station; tell us in advance and our driver will help.
