On the Gad: Mathura, Vrindavan and Barsana

There are certain journeys that hold a special place in one's heart, filled with a multitude of emotions, bittersweet memories, and unexplainable experiences. Allow me to share one of my life's most exceptional voyages.  Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Mathura, Vrindavan, and Barsana, and it was truly unforgettable. The trip was impromptu, and we made several last-minute changes to ensure it was the best trip possible. Our journey began by boarding the Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Express train from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. After a nine-hour journey, we arrived in Mathura the following day. Though we had planned our itinerary, we had to make adjustments due to Hariyali Teej falling on the day of our arrival. However, the change in plans worked out well in the end. On Day 1, we visited Mathura, known as Lord Krishna's birthplace and has many temples and shrines dedicated to him. A must-visit is the Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, where it's believed Lord Krishna was born.
