5-star hotels in Vrindavan

A shortlist of the 5-star hotels in Vrindavan, from homestays with kitchens to resorts with gardens and yoga. It is for couples, families and pilgrims who want an easy base near Prem Mandir, Banke Bihari Temple or the Yamuna Expressway side of town.

Staying in Vrindavan

Vrindavan sits on the banks of the Yamuna in the Braj region, a small temple town where most of the sights are gathered in the central areas: temples, ashrams and ghats along the river, plus the bazaars and the sounds of religious music. Banke Bihari Temple, Prem Mandir and ISKCON Vrindavan are the landmarks travellers come for, and the traditional sweets and vegetarian cooking are part of the visit.

The hotels on this shortlist are spread across town rather than in one quarter. Some addresses sit in Chaitanya Vihar Phase 1 and Chaitanya Vihar 2 on the Burja side, others on 100 Feet Road near Prem Mandir, in Rukmani Vihar, in Kailash Nagar along the Yamuna Expressway Link Road, or on Atalla Chungi Road. Distances to the centre range from 0.1 km at Dauji Palace to 2.8 km at The Bageecha. That spread suits couples who want to walk to a temple, families who need family rooms and kitchens, and business or short-break guests who prefer parking and a quieter setting.

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Vrindavan is well-connected by road and rail. The nearest major railway station is Mathura Junction, about 10-15 km away, with trains from Delhi, Agra and other cities; taxis and auto-rickshaws are available from there. By road, Vrindavan is around 150 km south of Delhi and can be reached via the Yamuna Expressway, by bus or private car — Hotel Shri Mohini Kunj Vindavan By HRG sits on the Yamuna Expressway Link Rd. The nearest airport is Agra Airport, though Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is a common entry point for international travellers. Inside Vrindavan, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and walking are the easiest ways to get around, since many sites are close together.

When to go

The best time to visit Vrindavan is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and suitable for exploring temples and outdoor activities. Summers, April to June, can be very hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, and the monsoon season from July to September brings humidity and rain. Holi in March and Janmashtami in August or September are celebrated with great enthusiasm but draw large crowds, so travellers who prefer quieter temple visits may choose the months between them.
