How To Get Here
Varsana is about 42km
(25 miles) northwest of
Vrindavana, off the main
road that goes between
Mathura and Delhi. The
easiest way to get here is
by taking a taxi, which
takes about an hour.
Both Varsana and
Nandagram are close to
each other (about 8km
apart) and can easily be
visited in the same day.

Sankari Kor
How To Get Here If you just came
down the steps from the Ladily Lal (Sri
Barsana) Temple, you make a right.
You walk 80m and make another right.
You follow the road around for about
200m. At this point the road turns left
and bears to the right. You turn left
and go 30m and make a right. The
road goes through the village for 300m
and then becomes a path for 700m. At
this point you come to Sankari Kor.
You can also have your taxi take you
here. By taxi you come to the other
side of Sankari Kor, near Mayur Kutir,
in the village of Chiksoli.
Daangad
How To Get Here This place is on top of the hills here, next to the Kushal
Bihari (Jaipur) temple. It is about 20m (60 feet) from the Kushal Bihari temple,
on the same side as Mayur Kutir.
Maangad
How To Get Here This place is close to the Mayur Kutir. If you came from
Sankari Kor you take the second larger set of steps (15 of them). When you
come up the steps you make a left passing Krishna Kunda. You then follow the
path around for about 20 seconds and you will come to some red rough steps
that go up a steep hill. It is a tough climb to get here.
If you take the main path from the Jaipur temple you come to a set of buildings
at the end of the path, after half a km. You make a left down some steps and
walk about 16m (50 ft) and the steps leading to this place are on your right.
Mayur Kutir
How To Get Here This is a small red brick building without any windows on
the top of the hill. There are two ways to get here. From the Jaipur temple
you take the left path going in the direction away from the Larily Lal Temple.
You pass the Dan-bihari Temple at the beginning of the path. You walk
across a ridge (the top of the hill) about 400m. If you come this way you
should have shoes on, as the path can be a bit rough.
If you just came from Sankari Kor, you walk 300m on the path away from the
village of Varsana. Forty metres after passing a small intersection you make
a right and follow the road around to the left for 180m. When the road bears
sharply to the left you will see two stairways on your right about 30m ahead.
You take the first stairway (the smaller one). It is a fairly tough climb.
Vilasa-gad
How To Get Here This place is close to the Mayur Kutir. If you came from
Sankari Kor you take the second larger set of steps (15 of them). When you
come up the steps you make a left passing Krishna Kunda. You then follow the
path around for about 20 seconds and you will come to some red rough steps
that go up a steep hill. It is a tough climb to get here.
If you take the main path from the Jaipur temple you come to a set of buildings
at the end of the path, after half a km. You make a left down some steps and
walk about 16m (50 ft) and the steps leading to this place are on your right.
Chiksoli
How To Get Here This village is on the other side of Sankari Kor.
Varsana is on one side and Chiksoli is on the other. They are
virtuously right next to each other.

Kunda
Dohani Kunda
How To Get Here These two kunds are near the village of Chiksoli. They are at the
bottom of the hill, not far from the bottom of the steps that go up to Mayur Kutir.
Vihval Kunda
Pila Pokhara
How To Get Here Pila Pokhar is across the road from the Larily Lal
Temple, at the bottom of the hill. If you just left the place where most
people park to go to the Larily Lal Temple, you go back to the main
road (about 200m away). Directly in front of you is a bridge, which
you cross. After going about 200m, directly in front of you is Pila
Pokhar, behind some buildings (a school). It is a large well-kept
kunda and is hard to miss.
