Nestled in Uttar Pradesh, Mathura is an ancient city that has been witness to significant historical developments, its rich past traced to the times of the epic Ramayana. Its significance catapulted when it was acknowledged as the birthplace of Krishna, elevating it to an important pilgrimage site. Today, the city forms a vital part of the Krishna circuit, a spiritual journey trailed by uncountable devotees around the year.

Historically, Mathura held a significant position as an economic hub, blessed with the boon of essential caravan routes. Within its confines, dynasties rose and fell, each leaving a sprinkling of their existence. The city's historic quotient is further deepened by the striking artifacts ranging from the 6th-century BCE, housed at the Mathura Museum, a remarkable vestige of Mathura's past. In the saga of its turbulent history, Mathura was attacked and pillaged, its sacred spaces desecrated, but like a phoenix, it rose from its ashes, standing tall and proud today.

When to visit Mathura

Being a year-round spiritual hub, Mathura always welcomes visitors. However, for a more comfortable sightseeing experience, October to March, the winter season, is the ideal time to visit. Though summer brings along sweltering heat, it also brings verdant beauty enveloping the city.

The monsoon season lasting from July to September is unique as Mathura throbs with vibrant festivities of Krishna Janmashthami. Set against rainy backdrops, the city embraces it with an unparalleled fervour. Just bear in mind that January and February require you to pack some warm clothing as the winter settles at its peak. Whenever you decide to visit, Mathura promises to wrap you in its spiritual and historic vibes, enveloping you in a wholly unique travel experience.
