With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Chikkamagaluru, 17 miles away, has to offer. Mullayanagiri Temple, Sringeri Mutt and Seethalayanagiri Temple alone make the drive out worth it. Hassan is another popular destination. It’s 35 miles away and has a range of interesting things to do. Hasanamba Temple, Maharaja Park and Hassan District Stadium are only the start.
