I have started my journey from panna. It was a road trip with family. We have reached gwalior in 5 hrs and stayed there and next morning we went for site seeing in gwalior. We've covered gwalior fort, sun temple, Tomb of Tansen, jai Vilas palace in one day.
At evening we've left for mathura . From gwalior to mathura the distance is 172km approximately. Than next morning we have started our peaceful site seeing in mathura . Mathura is pure and soothing place. If you really want to relax you must go there!! There are so many temples that can make you fall in love with this place. I'll suggest to take a cab or taxi from hotel because they provide best packages and cover every places nearby mathura(like virandavan, barsana, nandgoan,gokul,govardan). If you are looking to fall in love with Krishna you should stay in mathura itself. You can attend arti in banke bihari mandir in early morning and then you can take a boat ride in vishramghat and have awesome sunrise experience. There you can see Kans quila. You can buy some cute clothes for lord Krishna from gokul and try makkhan mishri .
Temples in mathura:
Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple,Dwarkadhish Temple, Gita Mandir, Baba Jaigurudev Mandir, Kesava Deo Temple,Chamunda Devi Temple.

After staying for two days we went to our last destination agra,the place of royalty. We stayed at royal regent hotel. Agra is little expensive city. We reached there at evening so we decided to go for shopping . Agra is famous for its leather and street food . After shopping we went to famous chaat Gali. Trust me try any dish from any stall you won't get disappointed. If you are foodie like me you must go there!!! Next day we went for taj mahal and than fetehpursikri. But before going to fatehpursikri we had amazing breakfast from deviram sweet and food plaza , The famous BEDAI !! After breakfast we went for fetehpursikri. In agra fort there is jodha bai place, jama Masjid, buland Darwaza and more.

1. Bedai from deviram sweets and food plaza
2.petha (must try pan petha)
3. Different types of panipuri from chaat Gali
4. Rumali roti with soya chaap from chaat Gali
I can not explain my experience in words. Mathura is really a place where you can find your soul free and relaxed. Everything make you fall in love with this place whether it be a Temple or food!!! Just beware of the pandits that ask for donations other than that you would really love this place.
