Govardhan Parikrama is considered one of the holiest pilgrimages by devotees of Lord Krishna. Every year thousands of people walk the 21-kilometre walking path that goes around the sacred Govardhan Hill, to receive blessings! For families and groups pre-booked cab transportation is a good option to explore from nearby cities as Mathura, Vrindavan, or even Delhi, especially when traveling with elders or during festivals.

Why Cab Booking Is Ideal for Govardhan Parikrama?

The availability of public transport is limited throughout the region, particularly early morning when most Parikrama yatras begin, making cabs a much more convenient option. You will receive timely pick up for your pilgrimage with drop off near the beginning places for Parikrama. Cabs also allow for flexibility in return transportation. Traveling by cab allows pilgrims to move freely without bag burdens or having to take care of kids, especially for elderly pilgrims as well.

Best Cab Routes to Reach Govardhan

Depending on where you’re starting from, you can take several different cab routes to Govardhan. The shortest routes are usually from Vrindavan and Mathura, while Delhi and Agra tend to be the most commonly used long-range options. Cabs are also a good choice to avoid the confusion regarding local transport changes, especially for first-time travelers.

Cab Options for Family and Group Travel

Different group sizes will also need different types of cab for comfort and affordability. For example, when in a couple or just a small family group, a sedan is a good option, but for larger family groups or a bhajan mandalis, SUV and tempo travellers are the most practical. Selecting the right type of cab means you can travel without stress with sufficient space or bodies to fit comfortably at each stage of your journey.
