ISKCON New Vrindaban Inc.

I recently visited this temple. The temple is located in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Direction and Driving: Don't trust your GPS altogether. Our GPS took us somewhere in a very remote area of the mountains where we apparently got lost. Be careful while visiting out of the country and sometimes net doesn't work in the mountains. My advise would be to travel in groups for the safety reasons. Drive is amazing, kids and elders all alike will enjoy the beauty along the way. Temple: Temple offers continuous service going on with one or the other chanting going on always. Prayer hall is large enough to accommodate a small gathering. Outside gift shop has prasadam, and little trinkets, deities pictures and statues. Outside the temple there is a place to have lunch and snacks. Washrooms are clean. A short walk around the temple offers The Golden Palace, The Swan Lake, The Lotus Lake and A Garden. Sitting at a different look out points in Golden Palace or The Garden offers some amazing views of the green space around the temple. It's worth the visit. Food and Snacks : The Govinda's Restaurant has buffet for $17 which includes daal,rice, vegetable, salad and some other sides and sweets. People are of differing opinion regarding price.Some find it over priced however, it is the facility to get food with in the premise. So like it or not .... Temple offers free food service as well on certain times. Cottages: The overnight stay arrangement is there in the cottages on the temple site. Cottages are very rustic style and designed for the devotees. Go enjoy and have fun. I would recommend the place to anyone. Worth the visit once for sure.

Hare Krishna. We stayed one night past weekend. We had such a great time being at the temple and Vrindaban. Very relaxing and calm place to be at. So many things too see all around this Vrindaban. We will definitely come back here again to spend more time. This place has restaurant and food accommodation. Their DOSA was so tasty. Lodge we stayed in was very clean and well kept. Just drive little carefully when going up and down the mountain during your visit. Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna hare hare!

Nice Devotional place. Temple is in a remote spot and many curvy roads. Parking was easy. May be crowded during events. Nice trek walk around the temple and you can see few peacocks. Nearby spot - Palace of Gold had a lot of beautiful flowers. Good spot for photography. Govinda’s Vegetarian restaurant was decent enough (neither too bad nor too good). Free lunch will also be offered if we wait for a while / post Bhajans. Overall good place.

The temple is located in a remote place and the roads were passable. When you are here, you are cut off from the outside world. Very Green, calm, Serene and tranquil atmosphere. There were peacocks and other birds around. It was very refreshing. Great place to simply sit and meditate. They also have basic lodging accommodation on premise. Poojas were performed for Lord Krishna followed by lunch, which was an excellent Satvik food. Must visit when you are around this area.

If you would like one of a kind experience, this is your place. Fresh air, beautiful nature walks, splendid colorful peacocks, Devotional are wroth mentioning. Stay/Lodging - We have stayed here in 2 bedrooms cabin for 2 nights. Cabin is clean, but expect some bugs here and there due to near by trees. There is no microwave inside. Food - weekend free prasadam at 9am, Govinda express opens at 10am and for weekend lunch, there is a vegetarian restaurant Must visit !!!
