Rohtak to Vrindavan Distance: Routes and How to Travel

Rohtak to Vrindavan at a glance

Rohtak to Vrindavan distance: an overview

From Rohtak, the Haryana city west of Delhi, the town of Krishna at Vrindavan lies about 208 to 241 km to the south-east, depending on the route, roughly three and a half to four and a half hours by road. The quickest way, about three and a half hours, is by the Western Peripheral Expressway joined to NH 44; as Rohtak lies west of Delhi, this expressway, which rings the capital to the west, is the natural way to skirt the city and reach Braj and is faster than looping round by the Yamuna Expressway to the east. Being a short, quick haul, it makes an easy day trip from Rohtak to Krishna's land, handy too for the Haryana pilgrimage circuit of Kurukshetra and beyond. As Rohtak is a railway junction, the train is also an option. This guide gives the routes both ways; and if you would like the drive, the darshan and the e-rickshaw arranged, a mathura vrindavan tour with Experience My India can plan your day.

From the ground (Gurudutt): For my guests from Rohtak, Braj is close and easy, only about three and a half hours by the Western Peripheral Expressway. Being west of Delhi, you have the good fortune of the western ring road, which slips you past the city straight onto the highway to Braj; do not go round by the Yamuna Expressway, which is longer for you. Come in the morning, do the Mathura and Vrindavan temples and you are home by evening. Radhe Radhe.

Rohtak to Vrindavan: the routes

The routes from Rohtak to Vrindavan, all by the Western Peripheral Expressway, with approximate distance and time:

All the fastest routes use the Western Peripheral Expressway, which rings Delhi to the west, joined to NH 44 towards Braj; they run about 210 to 220 km and around three and a half hours. The variations are only in how you reach the expressway from Rohtak. Times are approximate and depend on traffic; please check live maps before you set off.

Vrindavan to Rohtak: the return

The return, Vrindavan to Rohtak, is much the same. The options:

The NH 44 and Western Peripheral Expressway route is again the fastest for the return, at about 208 km and just under four hours; the Yamuna Expressway route, at about 241 km, is the longest and slowest for Rohtak, being a loop to the east. So the western route is the quicker choice both ways. Treat these as guide figures and check live traffic before you leave.

The route via the Western Peripheral Expressway

The key to the Rohtak to Braj journey is the Western Peripheral Expressway, the western ring of Delhi:

• The western ring of Delhi. The Western Peripheral Expressway, also known as the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal or KMP Expressway, rings Delhi to the west and south; as Rohtak lies west of the capital, it is the natural, fast way to skirt Delhi and join NH 44 towards Braj.

• Faster than the eastern loop. Because Rohtak is west of Delhi, the western ring is quicker than looping round to the Yamuna Expressway on the east, which is longer; so for Rohtak, unlike cities east of Delhi, the Western Peripheral Expressway is the route to take.

• A good, quick drive. The expressway is a fast, smooth toll road, so keep your FASTag ready; the drive of about three and a half hours is comfortable and easily done in a day, mostly on good, fast roads.

Best ways to travel: road and rail

For this short, quick haul, Rohtak gives you good choices:

• By car (best). About three and a half hours by the Western Peripheral Expressway, doable easily in a day, with the freedom to see Vrindavan and Mathura together, only about 14 km apart; a comfortable day trip or an overnight for the wider Braj. Fares vary, so ask us for a live quote.

• By train. Rohtak is a railway junction on the main lines and trains connect it towards Mathura Junction, the station for both Mathura and Vrindavan; a restful option, though you may need to check connections, from where an auto or e-rickshaw takes you on. Check current trains on IRCTC.

• By bus. Buses run from Rohtak towards Delhi and Mathura; the budget option, though slower and less direct than a car.

What to see in Braj, best time and tips

When you reach Braj, the great sights await:

• In Vrindavan and Mathura. See the beloved Banke Bihari, the marble Prem Mandir with its evening light show and the ISKCON temple in Vrindavan; and the Krishna Janmabhoomi, the Dwarkadhish temple and the Yamuna ghats in Mathura, only about 14 km apart.

• Best time. October to March is the most pleasant season for the drive and the darshan, with cool, comfortable weather; start early so you reach the temples before the midday closing.

• Tips. Take the Western Peripheral Expressway route for the quickest drive; in the old towns, cars are kept out of the lanes, so park at the edge and take an e-rickshaw for the temples; see Vrindavan and Mathura together for a full day of Braj.

See the banke bihari temple, prem mandir vrindavan and iskcon temple vrindavan in Vrindavan and the krishna janmabhoomi, dwarkadhish temple and braj yamuna ghats and leela sites in Mathura.
