With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Dharamshala, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Dalai Lama’s Residence, Dal Lake and Indru nag Temple. Don’t skip Pathankot either! Just 45 miles away, Shri Shani Dev Temple, Shri Laxmi Narayan Temple and Kali Mata Temple are non-negotiable stops here.
