With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Karnal, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Atal Park, Karnal Lake and Karan Park. Ambala is another popular option. It’s 20 miles away and boasts a range of interesting things to do. Gurudwara Manji Sahib, Ambala Golf Course and War Heroes Memorial Stadium are only the start.
