Beatles Ashram Rishikesh: India Travel Guide to the Most Iconic Spiritual Retreat

from Incredible India Travel | Social Impact & Culture Tours · host Madhusudan Narayanan | 5 Senses Tours

In 1968, The Beatles left the noise of global fame and travelled to Rishikesh — one of the most spiritually significant places to visit in India — to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. What happened during those weeks changed modern music forever, with over 40 songs written there, many appearing on the legendary White Album. Today, the Beatles Ashram is one of the most fascinating cultural experiences in India — an abandoned meditation complex hidden in a forest above the sacred Ganges, filled with dome-shaped huts and vivid murals. This India travel guide episode explores the full story of the retreat, what you can see there today, and why Rishikesh belongs on every experiential travel India itinerary. Perfect for anyone planning spiritual travel in India, a cultural tour of Uttarakhand, or simply curious about India's deep connection with global culture.
