Considering the Seasons 

 

Mathura Vrindavan experiences distinct seasons, influencing what you pack:

• Winter (October - March):  Pleasant weather with warm days and cool nights. Pack comfortable cottons, light woolens for evenings, and a light jacket or shawl for added warmth.

• Summer (April - June):  Hot and dry. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton kurtas (tunics) for men and salwar kameez (dress pants and tunic) for women.  Include a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection.

• Monsoon (July - September):  Moderate temperatures with occasional showers. Pack light rain gear like a raincoat, foldable umbrella, and waterproof shoes. Opt for quick-drying clothes to navigate potential humidity.

 

Clothing Essentials 

​

• Comfortable Bottoms: Pack loose-fitting cotton pants, salwar kameez, or comfortable skirts depending on your preference. Opt for modest clothing that respects local sensibilities, especially when visiting temples.

• Breathable Tops: Include a variety of comfortable cotton t-shirts, kurtas, or shirts. Consider layering options for fluctuating temperatures, especially during winter.

• Dresses (Optional):  Women can pack lightweight, flowy dresses made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Opt for modest necklines and knee-length hemlines for temple visits.

• Nightwear: Pack comfortable pajamas or nightwear suitable for the season.

 

Footwear 

​

• Comfortable Walking Shoes:  Prioritize comfortable walking shoes with good support for exploring temples and navigating uneven surfaces. Opt for closed-toe shoes for added protection.

• Flip-flops (Optional):  While not essential, flip-flops can be helpful for wearing indoors or at guesthouses.

• Formal Footwear (Optional): If attending weddings or special occasions, pack a pair of dressier shoes.

 

Additional Essentials 

​

• Headwear: A hat with a wide brim is essential for sun protection during summer. Consider a headscarf for women, especially when visiting temples.

• Undergarments: Pack a sufficient supply of comfortable undergarments for the duration of your trip.

• Toiletries: Pack your essential toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any personal hygiene products you require. Consider eco-friendly options to minimize waste.

• Sunscreen and Insect Repellent:  Sunscreen with a high SPF is crucial year-round, especially during summer. Pack insect repellent, particularly during the monsoon season.

• Medications:  Bring any prescription medications you require and over-the-counter medications for common ailments like headaches or upset stomachs.

 

Spiritual and Cultural Considerations

​

• Temple Attire:  Pack a scarf or shawl to cover your head and shoulders when entering temples. Opt for modest clothing that respects the sanctity of religious sites.

• Sacred Cloth (Optional): Consider packing a dhoti (traditional cloth) for men or a long dupatta (scarf) for women if you wish to participate in specific rituals.

 

Miscellaneous Items 

• Water Bottle:  Staying hydrated is vital. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it regularly, especially during the summer months.

• Adaptor (if needed):  Ensure you have the appropriate adaptor for your electronic devices if traveling from outside India.

• Camera:  Capture memories of your Vrindavan journey. Consider a portable charger for extended use.

• Personal Entertainment: Pack a book, journal, or small games to occupy yourself during travel or downtime.
