Day 1: Nidhivan – Where Mysticism Unfolds
Hello everyone, I’m Priyanshi, let me take you to the Vrindavan expedition I had recently with my family. Our pilgrimage commenced at the renowned Nidhivan, a mystical forest where legends whisper of Lord Krishna’s nocturnal escapades. Drawn in by the divine energy and spiritual tales, we found our sanctuary at Dwarka Kunj, conveniently connected to Nidhivan by a serene auto ride.
Having absorbed the spiritual vibes of Nidhivan, our next stop was the vibrant streets of the Banke Bihari Market. Here, we indulged in local delicacies, savoring the famous pedas and refreshing sugarcane juice.

Day 2: Prem Mandir at Night – A White Marble Marvel
As the sun gracefully bowed out, we ventured towards the enchanting Prem Mandir, a white marble marvel dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha. The illuminated temple cast a spellbinding glow, creating a magical atmosphere. A short train ride from Dwarka Kunj transported us to this architectural wonder.
Post our celestial experience, a rickshaw ride guided us to Keshi Ghat, a sacred bathing ghat on the Yamuna River. The serene ambiance and the river’s view at dusk provided a tranquil setting for reflection. Nearby, we surrendered to the temptations of local street food, relishing piping hot samosas, and sweet malai lassi.
Day 3: Banke Bihari Temple – Charisma Unveiled
Our third day unfolded with a visit to the revered Banke Bihari Temple, known for its charismatic deity and vibrant devotional atmosphere. The temple’s unique traditions and rituals left an indelible mark on our spiritual journey. A leisurely auto ride from Dwarka Kunj transported us to this sacred haven.
After seeking divine blessings, we explored the nearby Maa Vaishno Devi Dham, a shrine dedicated to Goddess Vaishno Devi. The intricately designed temple complex added another layer of spiritual richness to our journey. A short rickshaw ride connected us to this divine abode.
