A Guide to Unforgettable Mathura Vrindavan Tours
meenakshi –
Overall, the Chaurasi Kosh Yatra Tour was fine, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. While the spiritual experience was wonderful, some of the logistics could have been better. We faced a few issues with hotel check-ins, and the transport wasn’t very comfortable for such long distances. I loved visiting places like Barsana and Govardhan, but the rush between destinations made it less relaxing. With some improvements in accommodation and travel comfort, this could be a truly exceptional tour

We loved visiting the Radha Rani Temple in Barsana and circumambulating the sacred Govardhan Hill. The guide was friendly and shared many beautiful stories of Radha and Krishna. It was such a peaceful experience, and we returned with our hearts full of divine love. Would recommend this to all devotees
