MARCH 14 - MARCH 22, 2025

Holi is celebrated for more than two weeks in Vrindavan and Mathura, where lord Krishna was born and grew up. The Holla Mohalla is an impressive traditional display of bravery and valor that is a must see. 

Thousands of people from across India came together in Mathura and nearby villages where the festival of color is celebrated with great fervor. Holi marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The festival begins with Lathmar Holi played in Barsana, a small village in Mathura. Lathmar Holi usually begins around a week before the main Holi day. During the Lathmar Holi celebrations, women from Barsana village wait with wooden sticks to beat the men who come from the adjacent village of Nandgoan, the hometown of Lord Krishna. 

The ultimate display of machismo - Holla Mohalla, an annual Sikh festival held a day after Holi, has the drama, the sweat and the incredible colours that Indian festivals are known for. 

Price of $8800 is based on Double Occupancy. Single supplement is an additional $2150.
