When staying in Mathura fits the trip
Mathura can be a convenient base when your plan includes Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, Dwarkadhish Temple and Vishram Ghat as well as Vrindavan. From Janmabhoomi, Dwarkadhish and Vishram Ghat are about 2 km, while Mathura Junction is about 3 km.
It can also work when you are making separate day trips: Gokul and Raman Reti are about 13 km away, Govardhan about 22 km and Barsana about 42 km.
When staying in Vrindavan fits the trip
If most of your time is for Banke Bihari, Prem Mandir, ISKCON, Nidhivan and Radha Raman, staying in Vrindavan may fit your plan. Shri Govind Braj Dham is in Mathura, not Vrindavan.
From Janmabhoomi, ISKCON and Prem Mandir are about 9 km or 25 to 35 minutes by road. Banke Bihari Temple is about 10 km or 30 to 40 minutes by road.
A simple 2 day plan
One option is to keep Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, Dwarkadhish Temple and Vishram Ghat on the Mathura day. Keep Banke Bihari Temple, ISKCON and Prem Mandir on the Vrindavan day. Temple hours change by season, so check locally before deciding the order. Use another day for Govardhan or Gokul.
Getting to Vrindavan
Shared autos and e-rickshaws are common local transport; a taxi or your own car is another option. Fares vary, so agree the fare before you start. Allow 25 to 40 minutes by road from Janmabhoomi, depending on the Vrindavan temple.
