Gokul

Gokul is a town near Mathura that has immense religious significance to Hindus. The town is associated with the childhood pastimes of Lord Krishna. It’s said that he spent his childhood here with Yashoda and Nanda – his foster parents, safe from his maternal uncle, Kans.

Like Mathura and Vrindavan, Gokul has several temples and river ghats. You can get a feel of Krishna’s childhood in the streets, too.

After seeing all the important places to visit in Mathura and Vrindavan, you must explore Gokul to learn more about Lord Krishna. It offers a peaceful retreat to those looking to connect with the lord.
