With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Rishikesh, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Parmarth Niketan, Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Haridwar, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Har Ki Pauri. (But we’d also highly recommend Mansa Devi Temple and Bharat Mata Mandir.)
