Transport from Delhi
Outside the airport you can take a pre-paid taxi directly to Vrindavan for about 2000 rupees max. per taxi. You tell the driver to bring you to Sri Rupa Sanatan Gaudiya Math which is situated near Seva Kunj and Radha-Damodara Mandir.
There is a kiosk for changing money, once you've exited the baggage claim area, and before you go up the ramp to the arrival lounge.
Another way is (when you have not too much luggage) to take from the airport a bus (approx 10 rups) or prepaid taxi (approx 200 rups) to Nizambudim railway station and from there for 40-40 rupees take a train to Mathura. Quickest trains to Mathura leave from Nizambudim train station at 7.10 am., 12.50 pm (midday) and 4.20 pm. In Mathura you can take auto-rikshaw for 60-70 rupees to Vrindavan.

Registration
For your registration please let us know when you are coming and with how many persons. The parikrama fee (US $100 p.p. or Rupees 4,500) can be paid upon your arrival here either in rupees, dollars or UK pounds. For children we have special fees according to their age. If you want to reserve a hotel room or need help in your transportation from Delhi or have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us by the above mentioned e-mail. (HareKrishna@vsnl.com)

NOTE
If you like, you can bring your own tent with you and set it up at the designated place. In some places beds aren't available, so it's a good idea to have some kind of inflatuable mat, or camping mat. It's also a good idea to bring a good mosquito repellent and torch.
