With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Manali, 40 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Mall Road, Hadimba Devi Temple and Solang Valley. Don’t forget about Dharamshala either! Just 50 miles away, Dalai Lama’s Residence, Dal Lake and Indru nag Temple are non-negotiable stops here.
