With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Shrirangapattana, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Daria Daulat Bagh, Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary and Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple. Situated 30 miles away, Mysore is another popular choice. If you swing by, make sure you check out Mysore Palace, Mysore Zoo and Chamundi Temple.
