Itinerary :


Day 1

The Fragrant Start (Delhi to Vrindavan)

  • Arrival: Pick up from Delhi and drive straight to Vrindavan.
  • The Experience: Attend the world-famous Phoolon Wali Holi at Banke Bihari Temple. Imagine thousands of devotees showering each other with tons of fresh flower petals instead of powder. It is the most "Instagrammable" and gentle version of Holi.

  • Stay: Overnight in Vrindavan.

     

     

Day 2

Playful Traditions in Gokul

  • Morning: Visit Gokul for Chhadi Mar Holi, where women playfully use small sticks to recreate Krishna’s childhood stories. It is far less aggressive than Lathmar Holi and perfect for international tourists.

Day 3

Mathura to Agra – The Transition

  • Morning: Drive to Agra (approx. 1.5 hours).

Day 4

The Taj Mahal & The Sacred Fire

  • Sunrise: Visit the Taj Mahal at dawn—a 2026 "Must-Do" before the crowds peak.

  • Evening: Witness Holika Dahan in Agra or Mathura. Watch the community light massive bonfires to symbolize the victory of good over evil.

  • Stay: Overnight in Agra.

 

Day 5

Main Holi Day – The Riot of Colors
