The Vraja Mandala Borderline-Parikrama revealed in the Vraja-bhakti-vilasa does not visit all the twelve sacred forests as such, but instead circumambulates around them. This particular parikrama travels around the border of what is called the inner core of Vraja Mandala, inside of which all five-hundred holy places, including the twelve sacred forests are contained. This particular borderline-parikrama is generally performed by tyagi-sadhus and babajis of the various Vaishnava sampradayas.
The prominent places on the Vraja Mandala Borderline Parikrama are as follows: Madhuvana, Kamudavana, Sonk, Vac, Samai, Syama-Dhak, Bahej, Dig, Didavali, Konha, Adi-Badri, Pasopa, Kedaranatha, Badali, Charana-pahadi, Bhojana-Thali, Paigrama, Punthana, Singara, Sondha, Vanchari, Khambi, Hasanpur, Marava, Jedapura, Bajana, Salaka, Pitora, Tetigrama, Jarava, Raya, Karab, Vandi-Anandi, Baldeo, Brahmanda Ghata, Koila Ghata, Banda, Dhana, and Talavana.
