With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Hubli, 30 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Chennamma Circle, Indira Gandhi Glass House Garden and Veer Narayana Temple. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Hospet, 60 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Queen’s Bath. (But we’re also huge fans of Hazara Rama Temple and Elephant Stables.)
