Nanda
Maharaj
Sacred Village
Nandgaon is the village of Nanda Maharaj — Krishna's beloved foster father — and one of the most personally significant sacred villages in the Braj region. While it receives fewer visitors than Mathura and Vrindavan, its spiritual atmosphere is profound and its cultural traditions — especially the Lathmar Holi — are uniquely extraordinary.
Our certified Nandgaon guides know every kund, every temple and every leela story connected to this sacred hilltop village. They bring the warmth of Nanda Maharaj's household to life — the joy of Krishna's childhood, the love of his foster family, and the rich devotional traditions that have been preserved here for centuries.
Nandgaon is best visited as part of a combined tour with Barsana — the two villages are only 6 km apart and together provide the complete picture of the Radha-Krishna love story in its most intimate sacred landscape.

Nandgaon is the village of Nanda Maharaj — Krishna's beloved foster father. In Vaishnava tradition, the entire Braj region is sacred, but Nandgaon holds special significance as the home base from which Nanda Maharaj led the cowherd community. The village also hosts one side of the famous Lathmar Holi festival.
Yes. Nandgaon and Barsana are only 6 km apart and are almost always visited together. Our combined Nandgaon–Barsana guide tour covers both villages comprehensively in a single day — making it the most popular Braj day trip outside of Mathura and Vrindavan.
Nandgaon's Lathmar Holi (held a day after Barsana's) is when the women of Barsana come to Nandgaon and the men of Nandgaon try to defend themselves with shields while the women beat them with lathis. It is a joyful re-enactment of Krishna's mischievous visits to Barsana to tease Radha. Our guides manage crowd navigation and positioning for this festival.
Nandgaon is approximately 47 km from Mathura and 54 km from Vrindavan. It is typically visited together with Barsana in a single day trip from Mathura or Vrindavan.
A guided Nandgaon tour covering the hilltop temple and all major sacred sites typically takes 2–3 hours. The combined Nandgaon–Barsana day tour takes 5–7 hours including both villages.
Our Nandgaon guide services start from ₹700 for a half-day session. Combined Nandgaon–Barsana guide packages are available at a combined rate. Contact us for a personalised quote.

Nandgaon guide service provides certified local expert guidance across the sacred village of Nandgaon — the home of Nanda Maharaj, Lord Krishna's beloved foster father, in the Braj region of Uttar Pradesh. Nandgaon is built on a hill approximately 47 km from Mathura and is most famous for its magnificent hilltop Nand Baba Temple and the world-famous Lathmar Holi festival.
The Nand Baba Temple is the most important temple in Nandgaon — a beautiful hilltop shrine dedicated to Nanda Maharaj that commands sweeping views of the Braj plains. The temple is approached by a broad staircase and houses the deity of Nanda Maharaj along with images of Krishna and Balaram. Our guides narrate the complete story of Nanda Maharaj's pivotal role in Krishna's divine childhood.
Nandgaon's Lathmar Holi is held a day after Barsana's — when the women of Barsana come to Nandgaon and the men of Nandgaon try to shield themselves while the women beat them with lathis. Together, the two days of Lathmar Holi (one in Barsana, one in Nandgaon) form the most unique and joyous celebration of the Krishna-Radha love story anywhere in the world.
