A small and beautiful Temple with amazing heights and views of mighty Himalayan mountains. Quiet and full of spunky and loving monkeys (just watch your bags, because the monkeys will steal your stuff, lol!).

The Beatles Ashram is also known as ‘Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram’ or ‘84 Kutiya’ or ‘Chaurasi Kutia’. It became popular with Beatles name after the rock band came here for to study meditation in 1968. The ashram is situated on eastern bank of river Ganga, opposite Muni Ki Reti, it is around 1km from the new bridge Janki Setu (or Sita Pul) opened in Nov., 2020 downstream Ram Jhula. If you going by car, park your car in new parking developed on western bank of Ganga at Janki Setu. Then walk from there around 1km. The Ashram was setup in 1960s. During the 1960s and 1970s, as the International Academy of Meditation, it was the training centre for students of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who devised the Transcendental Meditation Technique (TMT). The Ashram was abandoned in 1990 and later taken care by Forest Deptt. It is the part of Rajaji Tiger Reserve. Entry ticket for Indian is INR 150 and for Students is INR 40. Foreigners have to pay a lot. If you are interested in the Beatles or Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ji, this place will be worth visiting. Ruins of old buildings, scattered meditation kutias, 84 Kutias building, kitchen, post office, printing press, Meditation Hall, living rooms are there. One can see the graffiti on the walls, still looking alive and takes you to 1960s. View of Ganga from top of the hill is amazing. Some exhibits having photographs about TMT, Yogi ji, The Beatles. Animals and birds are displayed here. A small canteen serving snacks, tea, coffee, soft drinks is worth sitting there.

Reviewed By KimBatteau - Dehradun, India
Mussoorie is not what it used to be. It's imitating Shimla by becoming overdeveloped, crowded, noisy, and dirty. Instead go directly up to Landour, have a pancake at Char Dukan, take the lovely walk to Lal Tibba (the place where on a clear day you can see the snowcapped Himalayas in the distance), then walk back to old St. Paul's church, and go into the church to experience real quiet. Then go on a bit further to the restored Victorian villa, Rokeby Manor, go up to the second floor restaurant, and sit out in the covered porch, admire the magnificent trees and see if you can see a fabulous yellow-billed blue magpie, as you sip your chai. This is the way Mussoorie used to be. 8

#LATEPOST PLEASE DON'T VENTURE OUT UNTILL & UNLESS IT'S REQUIRED - TRY TO STAY INDOORS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE & KEEP YOURSELF & EVERYONE AROUND YOU #SAFE ???? Kempty Falls is one of the popular go to destinations for any tourist or traveller visiting #Mussoorie and hence, this one was on our list too when we were at Mussoorie during our one month long self drive vacation across #Uttarakhand in #Feb2020.. Ofcourse, if you have to experience the falls at it's very best - the peak tourist season is the right time to drop in - April to June - one can take a bath or even swim in those falls - adequate changing rooms are available on all levels.. The water flow was obviously pretty less when we visited which actually instigated the travel blogger inside me to try and find the source of the falls - it was an uphill trek for about 3 kms but absolutely worth the effort when I saw that beautiful turquoise green water at the source.. ???? My humble two cents: #MUSTVISIT #Travelstories #LifeofaTravelBlogger #ShotonOneplus7Pro #MussoorieDiaries Journey of an Epicurean Cine Trotter continues.. ????
