Amazing Guided Walk at The Beatles Ashram - I always send my guests from different countries to The Beatles Ashram for the guided historical walks by Om Prakash. The service is excellent, and everyone has a wonderful experience learning about the history and stories of this special place.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rishikesh. It’s a must-do activity!

Beatles Ashram: A Journey Beyond Expectations - I'm so glad I opted for the guided tour of the Beatles Ashram—it truly exceeded my expectations! The tour was not only fascinating but incredibly well-organized, with a guide who was both informative and deeply knowledgeable. We learned so much, not just about the Beatles' connection to the ashram, but also about its rich religious and cultural background.
The guide’s depth of knowledge about the history and significance of the ashram really brought the experience to life. He took the time to explain the details behind the various buildings and their associations with the Beatles, offering insights that we would have easily missed on our own. What really stood out was how generous the guide was with his time, making sure we had a thorough understanding of everything we saw.
I highly recommend investing in a guided tour if you're visiting. It's worth every penny—you’ll walk away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of this incredible place. Thank you for making my visit so memorable!

Brilliant Beatles tour - The tour of the Beatles ashram was absolutely excellent, and the guide was informative and knowledgeable. We learnt a great deal about the religious background of the ashram as well as the buildings associated with the Beatles. The guide was really generous with his time, and I am so glad I paid for this rather than going round not knowing what I was looking at. Thank you very much!

A spiritual experience and return to 1968 😎 - Thank you Om for a most interesting and informative morning. I was privileged to have you to myself and will think about the many things you said.
The book I showed you, ‘
Before Abbey Road there was Teme Street’
was all about the way in which following a pop group in England sixty years ago led me to many new experiences and enriched my knowledge on a very wide range of subjects. Today was the latest.
All I need is love!

Incredible tour with amazing tour guide - Superb experience right from the booking process to the actual day of the tour.
The team was highly professional.
Om Prakash, my tour guide was very patient with all the questions I threw at him and his knowledge of the history of the ashram was incredible.
He went out of his way to make my visit a very comfortable and enjoyable one.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL

Moderns Day Peaceful Beatles Guide - Our guide Om was so peaceful and informative. We went at a great pace and he knew the best spots for us to spend time. It was the perfect experience blending the Beatles with spirituality, current Rishikesh vibes and peacefulness through the tour.

Beatles Ashram is an amazing place - The guide was useful to help us locate the Beatles Ashram but gave no information once inside . Of note is the fact that you have to pay the additional £24 entrance fee to the Tiger reserve that the Beatles Ashram lies within. The Beatles Ashram is in a sad state of decay and no up keep is done. A piece of history well worth seeing but see it soon as I expect it will not be here forever.. Guide said very little generally and spent most of her time either on her phone or talking to other tourists she had met on her previous tours to arrange further tours with them
