During the Parikrama, devotees from across the world visit the 12 forests of  Vraj dham. It is a transcendental expedition, a month-long journey not just through different villages and towns of Mathura but also a journey on the path of clearing the garbage of anarthas filled in people's hearts. Not only seeing, staying, and touching the Dham purifies one's soul, but also Srimati
Radharani, personally forces devotees to pull out their deep-rooted weeds of material enjoyment.  One learns the basic principle of ISKCON i.e. 'Simple Living and High Thinking.' Furthermore, the parikrama helps devotees to fix their minds on their whole and sole purpose of life i.e. devotional service. The hardship that the devotees face during the yatra pleases Krishna immensely.

"Observing the vow of Kartika in Vraja Mandala brings love for Lord Krsna. In this way the best result is obtained in Mathura. They who bathe and then worship Lord Damodara in Vraja Mandala during the month of Kartika attain spiritual forms like Lord Krsna's. Of this there is no doubt. O brahmana, it is rare that one is allowed to spend the month of Karttika in Vraja. To they who worship Him in Vraja during Kartika, Lord Krsna reveals His own transcendental form. To the devotees who worship Him in other places, Lord Krsna gives happiness and liberation, but He does not give devotional service, for devotional service turns Him into His devotee's servant. Still, one can very easily attain devotional service by once worshiping Lord Damodara in Vraja Mandala during Kartika." - From Kartika Mahatmaya

Thank you very much.
