Best Time to Visit
This tour runs year-round, but October to March (cool, pleasant winter weather) is the most comfortable season for both temple darshan and a full day of walking around the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Major festivals like Janmashtami (Aug/Sep) and Holi (Mar) draw huge crowds in Mathura-Vrindavan — book your hotel and guide well in advance if travelling during these dates. Avoid May–June if possible, as the heat can make sightseeing tiring, especially in Agra.
