Wildlife SOS Agra Bear Rescue Facility is home to nearly 200 sloth bears that were rescued from the brutal practice of bear dancing. The kalandar gypsies that depended on exploiting these bears were established in alternative livelihoods by Wildlife SOS to ensure the safety of the bears and a legal way of life for the community. This center is run entirely from Donations raised by Wildlife SOS. The Forest Department charges an Admission of Rs 500 for Foreign Nationals and Rs 50 for Indians. These fees do not go to support the bear rescue center. Wildlife SOS offers conservation educational visit combined with interaction with bear experts. A donation is requested from visitors to help care for the animals. Receipt is issued for donations. Wildlife SOS also runs India's only Elephant Hospital at the Elephant Conservation & Care Center, home to over 20 rescued elephants ; a 15 min drive from the bear sanctuary. Contact Wildlife SOS for more details.
Julia and I visited the elephants and we learnt so much about the terrible cruelty of the wonderful animals. Up close with the rescued elephants you could feel the love and care being taken to give them happy lives, a million miles away from the circuses,wedding accessories, and private toys of rich businessmen . We watched them being fed,washed medically cared for. Then we went to the sloth bear sanctuary which showed equally how wildlifeSOS are giving the lives back to these animals who have been used for human entertainment with such cruelty. Please visit both places and spread the word and support this charity that is not funded by the government.

We had the opportunity to walk many of the Ghats, be on the Ganges for sunrise and sunset, observe people bathing, washing clothes, seeing cremation services and observing the Ganga Aarti devotional ritual being performed. This is a unique experience - being able to be on The Holy River is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Nothing we have seen in our overseas travels compares to this.

Govardhan is an extremely beautiful place where you can immersed in the bhakti of krishna/Giriraaj.I did the parikrama this year in the month of December.Initially i was scared whether i will be able to complete 21km or not but gradually when I saw little kids who were doing sastang dandabad parikrama,i felt that atleast i can simply walk and complete the circumference.Nowadays,on the way you will get enough eateries and also many public toilets.Also the e rickshaws are availabe if incase you feel you are not feeling well.Interestingly,if you complete the circumference all your prayers are answered.Gobardhan is Kalpataru dham.Do visit and offer prayers!

Good spot within the city. A good picnic spot also. Toy train ride is good. Some spots may be closed like butterfly park, need 2-3hours. Points for snacks are very less

I went in 1996 from my BHU university days, being a hostel student,i found this trip from day scholars, and my experience has been wonderful. It was Oct, post monsoon time, water flow was medium, and you can view rainbows in water fall, depending on the time of the day you are visiting. Both Rajdari and Devdari are excellent picnic spots, for 1 day trip. Not sure if there is any govt guest house, circuit house for overnight 1-2 day stays.

On the edge of the Goverdan Hill,is the famous Radha Kund and the adjoining Shyam Kund. The devotees perform parikrama and take a holy bath.The radha Kund is the epitome of Srimati Radharanis love and devotion for Lord Krishna .

I will say do not go in winters as you have to pass from inside water which is just chilled. Up to knees. Go in summers or spring motion.

One one of the must visit place in lifetime as this place is connected with lots of unresolved mysteries with Hindu God Shri Krishna. This is to be believed that not only God Krishna visits this place but he also do his Ras Leela every night at this place. That is why after the evening Aarti at 7:00pm, the doors of Nidhivan shut down for the devotees as well as priests. Even, the animals and birds that are sighted here all through the day also leave the premises in the evening.

Hey there...This park is Asia's largest park. You have to give whole day for complete tour of the park. Night lighting and sounds I like the most and yeah I'll suggest if you are going to visit then must take cycle from gate number 4 and take a round of whole park.
