With a fleet of well-maintained sedans, SUVs, and premium Innova vehicles, we ensure that every journey between these two iconic cities of Odisha is safe, comfortable, and memorable.

Puri to Bhubaneswar Distance and Route Information

The distance from Puri to Bhubaneswar is approximately 60 kilometres by road. The most popular and fastest route is via National Highway 316 (NH316), which is a well-maintained four-lane highway that passes through the charming town of Pipili. Under normal traffic conditions, the journey takes between 1.5 to 2 hours. The road is smooth and scenic, winding through the flat coastal plains of Odisha with paddy fields on either side.

NH316 is the recommended route for all travellers, especially those heading to the airport. The highway has been significantly upgraded in recent years, with better signage, smooth tarmac, and well-maintained toll plazas. There is one toll plaza on this route, and the toll fee is nominal (approximately Rs.50-70 for a car). Our drivers are intimately familiar with this route and can navigate it efficiently even during peak traffic hours or monsoon conditions.

Bhubaneswar Airport Transfer — Biju Patnaik International Airport

One of the most popular reasons travellers book a Puri to Bhubaneswar taxi is for airport transfers. The Biju Patnaik International Airport (BBI) in Bhubaneswar is the nearest airport to Puri, located approximately 60 kilometres away. Puri Yatra specialises in airport pickup and drop services, ensuring you never miss a flight or wait endlessly after landing.

For airport pickups, our driver will arrive at the arrivals terminal with a name placard bearing your name. We track your flight status, so even if your flight is delayed, the driver will be there when you land. For early morning flights departing at 5 or 6 AM, we recommend booking a pickup from Puri at least 3.5 hours before departure to account for travel time, check-in, and security procedures. Our airport transfer service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with absolutely no night charges or surge pricing.

What to See on the Puri to Bhubaneswar Route

The journey from Puri to Bhubaneswar is not just a transfer — it can be an enriching travel experience in itself. Here are the key attractions you can visit along the way or with a slight detour:

Pipili — The Applique Craft Village: Located about 25 kilometres from Puri on NH316, Pipili is internationally renowned for its vibrant applique handicrafts. As you drive through the town, you will see dozens of colourful shops lining both sides of the road, selling lampshades, wall hangings, garden umbrellas, handbags, and decorative items made from cloth applique work. This is a uniquely Odia craft tradition that has been passed down through generations. We recommend spending 20-30 minutes here to browse and shop. The prices are very reasonable compared to what you would pay in city boutiques.

Dhauli Peace Pagoda (Shanti Stupa): Located on a hillock near Bhubaneswar, Dhauli is one of the most significant historical sites in India. It is here that Emperor Ashoka witnessed the bloodshed of the Kalinga War in 261 BCE and subsequently embraced Buddhism and non-violence. The Dhauli Shanti Stupa, built by the Japan Buddha Sangha and Kalinga Nippon Buddha Sangha, is a beautiful white peace pagoda with stunning panels depicting the life of Buddha. The hilltop offers panoramic views of the Daya River valley where the historic battle took place. The rock edicts of Ashoka, carved into the hillside, are among the earliest stone inscriptions in India.

Bhubaneswar — The Temple City: If you have time to spare, Bhubaneswar itself is a treasure trove of ancient temples. The Lingaraj Temple, built in the 11th century, is the largest and most prominent temple in the city. The Mukteshwar Temple, with its beautifully carved torana (archway), is considered a gem of Odia architecture. The Rajarani Temple is known for its exquisite sculptures of nymphs and celestial figures. Other notable sites include the Udayagiri and Khandagiri Caves (ancient Jain rock-cut caves dating to the 2nd century BCE), Nandankanan Zoological Park (home to white tigers), and the Odisha State Museum.

Tips for Travellers on the Puri-Bhubaneswar Route

Here are some helpful tips for a smooth journey between Puri and Bhubaneswar. If you are catching a flight, always factor in at least 3.5 hours from your hotel checkout to departure time — this accounts for 2 hours of travel time plus check-in and security. Carry some snacks and water for the journey, although there are several eateries along NH316 near Pipili. During monsoon season (July-September), the roads may have occasional waterlogging near low-lying areas, so allow an extra 30 minutes. If you plan to stop at Pipili for shopping, inform your driver in advance so he can factor in the additional time. For the best experience, book your taxi at least 12 hours in advance, especially during peak tourist season (October-March) and during the Rath Yatra festival period.
