  They were also four in their Wagon-R. As per plan we started early morning from Rohini at around 6 and they met us at Punjabi Bagh flyover at 6:15 am. Then the two cars were off for a short road trip. Mathura is around 160 Km from my place. We went towards ISBT , ITO and then Ashram Chowk. Now we wre on NH-2. There was less traffic till Sarita Vihar. But as soon as It was Badar Pur Border , it was a hell crossing it. Crossing it took around 20 min as it was a traffic jam there. HARE KRISHNA – ENTRY INTO VRINDAVAN We did not want to stop anywhere between , so crossed Faridabad , Ballabgarh , Palwal , Hodal , Kosi. The road condition of NH-2 till Agra is excellent. Finally reached Vrindavan at around 9:30 am. BANKE BIHARI JI TEMPLE When we reached Vrindavan , we parked our cars into a house parking.
