With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Haridwar, 35 miles away, has to offer. Har Ki Pauri, Mansa Devi Temple and Bharat Mata Mandir alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you toward Dehradun District, 40 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Clock Tower. (But we’d also highly recommend Robber’s Cave and Tapkeshwar Temple.)
