With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Hubli, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Chennamma Circle, Indira Gandhi Glass House Garden and Veer Narayana Temple. Locals are also likely to point you toward Belagavi, 40 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Military Mahadeva Temple. (But we’d also highly recommend Attiveri Bird Sanctuary and St. Mary’s Church.)
