Arriving at Mathura Junction (MTJ)
Mathura Junction is one of the main railway stations of north India, on the Delhi–Agra and Delhi–Mumbai routes. Many long-distance trains stop here, so pilgrims from all over India arrive at MTJ to start their Braj trip. Outside the station you will find many autos and cab drivers – it can be confusing after a long journey. A booked Mathura railway station taxi avoids this: your driver waits with a name board and helps with the luggage.
Share your train number and coach when you book. If your train is late, the driver adjusts the pickup time.
Taxi from Mathura Junction to your hotel or temple
Popular drops from the station are hotels near Krishna Janmabhoomi (about 3–4 km, approx.), Vrindavan hotels and ashrams (about 15–17 km), ISKCON and Prem Mandir, and Govardhan (about 22–26 km). Many guests go straight from the train to darshan and check in later. A Mathura to Vrindavan taxi from the station takes about 35–45 minutes.
Starting a full Braj trip from the station
If you have booked a tour, the trip starts at the station itself. Day 1 can be Mathura and Vrindavan, Day 2 Govardhan, Barsana and Nandgaon, and Day 3 Gokul or Agra, with the same car and driver all through. See our Mathura Vrindavan 1 day tour and tour packages by car. For the return, the driver drops you back at MTJ in time for your train.
Tips for the station
Early-morning arrivals are common – book the day before so a driver is ready at 4–5 AM. Keep small cash for porters if you have heavy bags. In winter, trains are often late because of fog; your driver will track the delay. Do not hand your luggage to strangers offering "official" taxis – call your booked driver directly. Rates start at ₹11/km (Swift Dzire); toll and parking are extra.
Mathura Junction to Vrindavan – your first ride
Most people arriving at Mathura Junction are heading to Vrindavan. The distance is about 15–17 km to the main temples (approx.), around 35–45 minutes by car. If you arrive early in the morning, you can go straight to Krishna Janmabhoomi (3–4 km away) before driving to Vrindavan – the temple opens at 5:30 AM in winter.
Leaving Braj by train
For departures, the driver picks you up from your hotel with enough time for traffic and the station walk – usually 60–75 minutes before your train from Vrindavan, less from Mathura city. Keep your ticket and ID ready, and check the platform on the display boards. In winter, trains can be late because of fog; check the running status before you leave the hotel.
Station taxi for groups
If you are a big group arriving by the same train – for a yatra or a function – we can send a Tempo Traveller, Force Urbania or several cars together. Share the train number, the number of people and the luggage, and we will plan the vehicles so nobody waits at the station.
