The End to the Road...


Julley Everyone,

Starting it out with this beautiful day as we came all the way to this beautiful spot. Somewhere around 18 km is away from the spot where we were staying the day before in Rishikesh and started all the way journey from Delhi to Uttarakhand and drove to the mountains as it was a call from the mountains. And when we got to know about this beautiful hidden corner, the Beatles Ashram we were just too excited to explore the place and capture the beauty of this beautiful abundant place.

The Navigation.


So in just no time we found the nearest road to this beautiful spot and reached at this position where through the woods we have to make our way to the Beatles Ashram. Here is a quick GPS screenshot that I have captured of the maps so that you guys could get some idea that what I was talking about that how we made it all the way discovering the trails through the forest by the side of river Ganga.

It was somewhere around 12:30 PM in the afternoon when we were at the spot. It was the end of the road where we just parked our car and now beyond the spot. It was all that we had to make a way discover the trails to the Ashram.


The whole place it was looking so beautiful, so peaceful and all together with the vibes of the monsoon the place it was just looking so beautiful all together the greens of the nature. They were just so flourished with the beautiful views and the peaceful atmosphere all around.* at the corner we parked our car and now it was all the trains as previously mentioned and the kind of moment looked something. Just like this as there were few of the people I just wondering around as it was a main passage but the Beatles Ashram showed up on the other side on the woods.



There were these countless number of streams that were flowing the tributaries at certain points to the river Ganga and we had to make her way through the streams crossing the narrow reverse at certain points so I tried capturing these photographs in perspective so that you guys could also experience the adventure through the post that I shared. There were these few of the certain rocks that were kept at the middle of the screen so that we could walk over it. Rather than wearing the shoes. I decided to wear the slippers so that I knew that in the monsoon season at certain points, we may encounter water bodies and by just that means my decision was quite alright as it was told to me by the local friends of mine, not at this location, but on the other side of the mountains towards the other state in Himachal Pradesh, where you usually my friends they just recommend wearing and getting slippers in the monsoon season.

The Trail beyond the spot kind of look something just like this, there were these lush green forest with these trees quite old and countless number.

When I was at the place, I literally had no idea that where we were headed to all that I was dependent on what is the GPS of my mobile phone where I could just pinpoint the location and we were just walking on the same direction but all together it had been more than 15 to 17 minutes. Since we started our journey from the area where we park our car and beyond it. It was really a whole peaceful moment wandering around the trails to the Beatles Ashram.


And somewhere around 30 minutes or so we reached at the edge of the point where few of the people made it all the way on their cars. I was not sure about from where but they just bought the vehicles to the corner and few of the two wheelers two and then I saw there was another road that came from the other side.

It really felt like that. It was the edge of the point and even when I checked the GPS map on my mobile phone I saw that we were getting closer to the Ashram...


And my friends right in front of us was the main gate of the Beatles Ashram to the forest where there was abandoned Beatles Ashram situated.


As mentioned, there were these countless number of schemes or the narrow reverse that we had to cross and this one was one among them so we had to make our way over by jumping and crossing the river or the stream that went all the way to the river Ganga water. It was really very cold and the moment kind of look something just like this.


The Road Beyond the edge, kind of looked something just like this all the way to the river Ganga. It felt like that it was the position where there used to be the flow of a stream by the side as there was this narrow stream..

This place was called The Chaurasi Kutiya.


So finally, in around 45 minutes, we made it all the way to this corner and beyond which was the Beatles Ashram. The Tiny heart itself kind of looked that it was built quite years ago and there was an organisation that maintain this place during this time and which of which was the part of the abundant Beatles Ashram too..

So my journey, all the way to this hidden corner, kind of look something just like this, and I will be sharing my journey beyond the spot in my upcoming blog post and that was all the way to the trails to the abandoned Beatles Ashram in Rishikesh.

I have captured all of these photographs, using my Apple, iPhone 12 and edited them using iPhone. Photo editor... Do let me know my friends, the photographs you like the most in the comment section and I would love to hear it from you.



So that's all for today guys I hope you liked it.
Thanks for your precious time. 🙏
Love from the Himalayas. ❤️
