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 Mahabaleshwar, 30 miles away, has to offer. Venna Lake, Mahabaleshwar Bazaar and Wilson Point alone justify the drive out here. Don’t skip Satara either! Just 30 miles away, Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Museum, Dholya Ganapati and Kaas Lake are essential stops here.
