About Rishikesh
A river, the hills,
and room to begin again.
Set beside the Ganges in Uttarakhand’s Himalayan foothills, Rishikesh is known around the world for yoga and meditation.
Ashram practice, riverfront walks and evening Ganga aarti are part of its identity. The Beatles Ashram adds another chapter to a place where visitors come to study, explore and spend time with themselves.
Leave space between the sights. A café stop can be a chance to sit with a book, talk about the morning’s class or simply enjoy a meal before heading back to the river.
