The main temple here is:
Radha Rani Temple (Ladli Ji Temple)
The temple stands on a hill and requires climbing steps, but the panoramic view from the top makes the effort worthwhile.
Visitors often explore the narrow village streets and small temples around the hill.

From there you will board your flight or train back to Gangtok, completing a spiritually enriching 3-day Braj tour.
Important Local Notes (Based on Ground Experience)

Monkeys are active near temples, so avoid carrying loose items.
Barsana and Nandgaon involve stairs and hill temples.
Festival seasons such as Holi and Janmashtami bring very large crowds.
