Answer 1

A few things you can fix here to make your life a bit easier to manage. Firstly, adding a __construct() function to load common libraries, helpers, and models will save you a lot of duplicate code. If you aren't familiar, a __construct() function within a Class object will run each time that class is initialized, so it's common to load your assets there, etc.

Note that the .php has also been removed from the $this->load->view() functions as it is not necessary.

We're also passing your image path using the [full_path] attribute from do_upload() to your add_events() function in your model.

Your Controller

/**
* Use a __construct function so you don't have to repeat things
*/
public function __construct() {
    // Helpers & Libraries
    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->helper('form');
    $this->load->library('form_validation');

    // Models
    $this->load->model('Login_set');

    // Upload Library & Config
    $config['upload_path'] = 'application/views/App_stay/photo1/';
    $config['max_size']    = '100';
    $config['max_width']   = '1024';
    $config['max_height']  = '768';
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
}

// Get the Gallery
public function gallery5()
{  
    $page_id =$this->uri->segment(3);   
    $data['e']=$this->Login_set->select1(); 
    $this->load->view('App_stay/pages/hotel1_galery_event',$data);
}

public function gallery5_insert()
{
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('id','id');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('events','events','required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('description','description','required');

    if ($this->form_validation->run() == true)
    {   
        $field_name = "images";

        if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload($field_name))
        {
            $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
            $page_id =$this->uri->segment(3);
            $data['e']=$this->Login_set->select1_edit();       
            $this->load->view('App_stay/pages/hotel1_galery_event',$data, $error);
        }
        else 
        {
            $image_upload = $this->upload->data();
            $this->Login_set->add_events($image_upload['full_path']);
            $page_id =$this->uri->segment(3);
            $data['e']=$this->Login_set->select1_edit();      
            $this->load->view('App_stay/pages/hotel1_galery_event',$data);
        }
    } 
} 

Your Model

/**
* Add a __construct()
*/
public function __construct() {
    $this->load->database();
    $this->load->helper('url');
}

public function add_events( $image_path = '' )
{ 
    // NOTE: you don't seem to be doing anything with this
    // Also, these should be set_rules, not set_message
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('events','events','required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('description','description','required');
    $this->form_validation->set_rules('images','images','required');

    $data = array(
        'event_id'=>'',
        'hotel_id'=>1,
        'event_title'=>$this->input->post('events'),
        'event_description'=>$this->input->post('description'),
        'image_path'   =>    $image_path                      
    );
    $this->db->insert('event_hotel1', $data);
}

Answer 2

You need to pass $image_path to you model file

So change

$this->Login_set->add_events();

To

$this->Login_set->add_events($image_path);// pass your argument

And in MODEL FILE

public function add_events($image_path){......
