Leaving the orange groves and the geographical centre of India in Nagpur for the ancient temples and coastal air of Bhubaneswar takes you across the rugged heart of the subcontinent. Bhubaneswar is the gateway to the temples of Odisha and is known as the Temple City of India, and the journey leads from the dry Deccan plateau to the humid eastern plains.

The road distance is around 835 km and the drive takes around 17 hours.[1] A private transfer picks you up at your hotel or home in Nagpur and drops you at your exact destination in Bhubaneswar. It suits families, small groups and business travellers who want a fixed schedule and the freedom to take breaks.
For solo travellers and couples, Economy 3pax or Hatchback 4pax are the compact options, and Sedan or Comfort 3pax give you more legroom. Larger groups or travellers with luggage can choose an SUV 6pax, Van 6pax or Van 8pax. All of them have air conditioning, which you will want in the warm Indian interior.

Tips for Traveling from Nagpur to Bhubaneswar
- Book in advance: Book your vehicle a few days before departure for a cross-state transfer.
- Pack snacks and water: Your driver will stop at highway dhabas, but carrying water and snacks makes the long drive easier.
- Time your departure: Leave Nagpur early, around 5:00 or 6:00, to clear the city before the traffic builds up and to drive much of the route in daylight.
- Documents: The route crosses state borders, so keep your ID with you.
- Luggage space: A group of four with large suitcases is better off in a 6-pax SUV than in a 4-pax hatchback.
