Rishikesh is like a Beatles melody. There’s a riff of religion, a strum of spirituality, a yodel of yoga.
People come to Rishikesh in search of God.
Rishikesh through fresh optics. Adventure sports. Food. Digital detoxification and The Beatles.
Beatles Ashram, also known as Chaurasi Kutia, (84 Cottages) is located opposite the Muni Ki Reti area of Rishikesh, in the foothills of the Himalayas. In the 60s and 70s, it was the International Academy of Meditation where Maharishsi Mahesh Yogi taught Transcedental Meditation. It was around February 1968 that the Beatles trooped in here and made it rock forever. They wrote 48 songs while there.
The site is run down with graffiti all over its walls but if you are a Beatles fan, a visit to the place is quite lovely.
A weekend at Rishikesh leaves you rebooted.
Getting to Rishikesh from Delhi is a song. And The Roseate Ganges is a hip hymn.
