With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Hassan, 35 miles away, has to offer. Hasanamba Temple ought to be high up on your list here. Maharaja Park and Hassan District Stadium are interesting attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Chikkamagaluru, 55 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Mullayanagiri Temple. (But we’d also highly recommend Sringeri Mutt and Seethalayanagiri Temple.)
