The next day we headed out to look for the Beatles Ashram. The Beatles Ashram is a compound located near the woods of Rishikesh. No one has lived in the compound since they left. However, one can view it if you pay the guard of the gate to let you in.
However, we were not lucky enough because of heavy rain. So we decided to cancel and head back to our hotel. Yet, on our way back to the hotel we ran into this homeless guy with one arm who talked to us in Hindu and offered to show us around.
We walked around the company and he showed us a hole in the fence from which we could enter.
The whole experience was a good one. It was a bit eery but I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
The one thing that shocked me most about the Ashram was how fast mother nature took its toll on the whole compound.
Many of the buildings were missing doors and windows. Moreover, many of the buildings were crumbling and becoming dangerous.
Also a majority of the buildings have become canvases for artists. Some of the artwork is good but a majority is just mindless graffiti.

It was a great experience and I really enjoyed wandering around.
I would highly recommend it!!!!
