Travel from Lucknow to Vrindavan with your group in a comfortable, air-conditioned tempo traveller. Banke Bihari, Prem Mandir, ISKCON and the Yamuna ghats, with doorstep pickup and clear per-km pricing.
Vrindavan is about 490 km from Lucknow, a little beyond Mathura on the expressway route. The drive is comfortable in a tempo traveller, and having your own vehicle matters here because the town's temples are scattered across narrow lanes where autos are easier to find than parking.
Banke Bihari, Prem Mandir, ISKCON and Radha Raman are the anchors, with Nidhivan and Keshi Ghat adding a quieter side to the town. Most groups combine Vrindavan with Mathura, Govardhan and Barsana over two days.
Our 13, 17 and 26-seater tempo travellers, Force Urbania, Tata Winger and mini bus are air-conditioned and serviced before departure. Drivers on this route know the temple timings, the one-way lanes and the parking areas on the edge of the old town.
Vrindavan rewards timing. Temples close and reopen through the day, and the lanes are not built for large vehicles.
A shared vehicle is far cheaper than train tickets plus autos, and the fare is agreed before you leave Lucknow.
They know where to drop you near Banke Bihari, where to park, and how to sequence the temples around the midday closures.
Mathura, Govardhan and Barsana are short drives away, and your own vehicle makes them easy additions.

Vrindavan is about 490 km from Lucknow via the expressways and Mathura, on the bank of the Yamuna.

A few words from families and groups who travelled with Parijat Tour and Travels.
We went for Banke Bihari darshan and the driver timed it perfectly between the closures. Also took us to Prem Mandir for the evening light show. Wonderful trip.
Eighteen of us travelled in the 26-seater. The vehicle was clean, the driver patient with the old-city lanes, and the fare was exactly as quoted.
We are a group of elderly devotees and the driver helped us at every temple. Comfortable seating and a very smooth drive both ways.
