Udaipur to Vrindavan Distance: Road, Train and Flight Guide

Key facts at a glance

Udaipur to Vrindavan: an overview

The journey from Udaipur to Vrindavan carries you from the lakes and palaces of Mewar to the land of Krishna in Braj, a long haul of about 657 to 678 km across Rajasthan and into western Uttar Pradesh. For many who make it, this is a pilgrimage as much as a journey, for Udaipur lies close to Nathdwara, the great seat of Shrinathji, whose worship the tradition of Braj traces back to Govardhan; so travelling from Udaipur to Vrindavan is, for many devotees, a return to the source. This guide gives the full distance and routes from Udaipur to Vrindavan and back by road, the trains from Udaipur City to Mathura Junction, the flight option by way of Delhi and how to reach Vrindavan on arrival. If you are comparing long pilgrim routes, our dwarka to vrindavan distance guide covers the other great western journey to Braj.

From the ground (Gurudutt): I meet many guests who come to Vrindavan from Udaipur and Nathdwara and my honest advice for such a long trip is to let the train do the hard work; an overnight train to Mathura Junction saves you a very long day at the wheel and Mathura is only about 14 km from the dham. If you would rather drive, take the NE 4 expressway, which is why the longer-looking route is actually the fastest. And if time is short, fly to Delhi and come down by road. Whichever way you choose, book a car to meet you at Mathura station or Delhi airport so you are not haggling when you are tired. Then give Vrindavan the unhurried days it deserves.

Udaipur to Vrindavan by train

By train, the practical destination is Mathura Junction, about 14 km from Vrindavan, since Vrindavan's own station is small. Several direct trains run from Udaipur City station to Mathura Junction, among them the Ananya Express, covering a rail distance of about 590 to 640 km in roughly 9 to 11 hours, with the fastest service around 8 hours 48 minutes. An overnight train is the most comfortable way to cover this long distance, sparing you a very long day on the road; from Mathura Junction, Vrindavan is a short taxi ride, covered in our tundla to vrindavan distance guide for those arriving by rail from the wider network. So the train is the easy way. So aim for Mathura Junction, not Vrindavan station. So take an overnight train from Udaipur City to Mathura and drive the last short stretch to the dham.

Udaipur to Vrindavan by flight

There is no airport at Vrindavan or Mathura, so flying is a two-stage journey. From Udaipur's Maharana Pratap Airport at Dabok you fly to Delhi, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes and then continue about 150 km to Vrindavan by road, roughly 3 to 3.5 hours or take a train from Delhi down to Mathura. The new Noida International Airport at Jewar is emerging closer to Braj and may in time shorten this last leg, while Agra airport is another option with limited flights. So there is no direct flight to Vrindavan. So fly Udaipur to Delhi, then drive down. So the flight option is fastest overall if you value time over the cost.

Reaching Vrindavan on arrival

However you arrive, the last stretch into Vrindavan is short: from Mathura Junction it is about 14 km and from Delhi about 150 km. Once in the dham, the lanes are narrow and best explored on foot and by e-rickshaw, as our how to commute in vrindavan guide explains and the temple hours, which close through the middle of the day, are set out in our mathura vrindavan temple timings guide, so you can plan your darshan for the morning and the evening. So plan to arrive at Mathura or Delhi. So arrange a car for the last leg. So keep your first evening gentle after the long journey.

What to see in Vrindavan and Mathura

Having reached Vrindavan from Udaipur, the great temples await: the beloved banke bihari temple, the magnificent prem mandir vrindavan and the iskcon temple vrindavan, along with Nidhivan, the Radha Raman and Radha Damodar temples and Keshi Ghat. Nearby Mathura, the birthplace of Krishna at the shri krishna janmabhoomi temple and the wider Braj of Govardhan, Barsana, Nandgaon and Gokul, are all within easy reach for the days that follow. So Vrindavan itself needs a couple of unhurried days. So Mathura and Govardhan add more. So give your Braj visit the time your long journey deserves.
