With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Manali, 50 miles away, has to offer. Mall Road, Hadimba Devi Temple and Solang Valley alone justify the drive. Situated 50 miles away, Dharamshala is another popular choice. If you drop by, don’t miss Dalai Lama’s Residence, Dal Lake and Indru nag Temple.
