What to pack
For a visit during the peak season (October to March), pack light cotton or linen clothing for daytime and light woolens for evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as you'll be doing a lot of walking around temples and streets. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are necessary for sun protection. Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples; cover your shoulders and knees. Remember to carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
Saving money
The cheapest time to visit Vrindavan is generally during the monsoon season (July to September), when hotel prices and transportation costs can be 20-30% lower.
