The journey
Driving from Kolkata to Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar earns its name as the temple city — several hundred survive, some over a thousand years old, and the Lingaraj complex is among the finest examples of Kalinga architecture anywhere. It is also a modern, well-planned capital that makes an excellent base.
At 440 km the drive is around eight hours on the very good NH-16. Most guests treat Bhubaneswar as one point in the golden triangle with Puri and Konark, and we quote it that way — the three sit within easy reach of each other and a car makes the circuit simple.
Udayagiri and Khandagiri, the Jain rock-cut caves on the city's edge, are frequently skipped and should not be. They date to the second century BCE and take barely two hours to see properly.

Before you book
Kolkata to Bhubaneswar — Frequently Asked Questions
Should I base myself in Bhubaneswar or Puri?
Bhubaneswar if you want temples, museums and better hotels. Puri if you want the beach and the Jagannath Temple. With a car, honestly, either works — they are only 60 km apart.
Can one booking cover Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark?
Yes, and it is the way most guests do it. The three form a compact circuit and we quote the whole thing as a single multi-day itinerary.
