    Beatles Ashram

    February 27, 2023 in India

    It’s been some good and relaxed days her ein Rishikesh. Really starting to settle in in India, learning to accept the chaos and just move with it.

    After a morning Yoga class I went past my favourite swimming spot for a quick dip and continued, much more refreshed, to the famous Beatles Ashram. The now abandoned ashram where the Beatles, Donovan, Mike Love and the Farrow sisters stayed for 3 months in the late 60’s. Really cool place to visit! Spent most of the day there just walking around and exploring the ruins. The house where the Beatles stayed is also clearly marked and I met some other lovely people around there who had a guitar, so we played and sang some songs obviously! Really nice to be in the same place where they wrote so many of the White Album songs.

    For sunset I sat by the Ganga and enjoyed some street food. Now eating some bananas with peanut butter for desert. Time to sleep soon.
