Beatles Ashram

City: Rishikesh, India
Weather: 89°, sunny
Site: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram
Activity: Sneaking Around

 

We considered skipping this site all together because we were worried it would be a touristy waste of time. We could not have been more wrong. It Samsung us there and we had to be a bit clever to get in. The two storey moss covered meditation huts were really nice and I can see why The Beatles fell in love with the place.
