Best Car for Coastal and Beach Road Trips in India?

Planning trips to Shimla, Ooty, and maybe Ladakh next year. Need something that handles steep climbs and rough mountain roads well but also works for city use. The Thar looks tough but worried about daily comfort. Jimny seems fun but is it too small? Creta's comfortable but will it manage bad roads? Scorpio N appears solid. What's your take?

I want something that can handle rough terrain on weekend trips but won't be a pain to drive in the city during weekdays. The Thar and Jimny seem like proper off-roaders, but are they practical for daily use? The Creta is comfortable but can it handle trails? Scorpio-N looks like it does both. What's your take on balancing these needs?

Looking to get serious about off-roading and want something that can handle the toughest trails. Been researching these four options but can't decide. The Thar and Gurkha seem purpose-built, Jimny's compact and capable, while the Wrangler is the legend. What would you go for if money wasn't the main concern and pure capability mattered most?
