This experience will be conducted on three days - 19th, 20th and 23rd of March.

• 19th March - Holi procession at Mathura
• 20th March - Holi at Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan
• 23rd March - Holi celebration in Temples & streets of Vrindavan

Here’s the plan:

Breakfast in Agra:

After breakfast in Agra, we will proceed for a day excursion to Vrindavan to witness the famous Holi celebration.

The village of Vrindavan is where the young Krishna is said to have grown up. Pilgrims flock here from all over India and, in the case of the Hare Krishna community, from all over the world. Dozens of temples, old and modern, dot the area. They come in all shapes and sizes and many have their own unique peculiarities.

Upon arrival in Vrindavan visit the ISCON Temple. Later in the afternoon proceed to witness the Holi celebration at Banke Bihari Temple.

The celebration at Banke-Bihari temple on this day is worth visiting. Here watch Hindu priests throw colored water and marigold garlands over the devotees, and feel the crowd surge forward to get a better glimpse of their beloved Lord Krishna. Packed Lunch and Water Bottle will be provided.

In the evening visit Prem Mandir while driving back to Agra and transfer to the hotel.

We will also be conducting Lathmaar Holi experience in Barsana and Nandgaon. Check out details below :
